Finding a new use for hair spray
Before I took the Acclaim around Europe late last year on Club Triumph’s Ten Countries Run, I put it in for an early MoT inspection as a precaution. This was quite late in the day because I had been planning to go in the Herald, so I was relieved when it passed the inspection without issue. However, there was one heart-stopping moment when the tester started prodding away at the offside rear trailing arm and making worried noises. Fortunately what had looked like large areas of structural metal flaking away as rust turned out to be the original rust-proofing that had dried and lifted way from the arm.
