Unfortunately we do not have much Qld sun here in Seattle! But thanks
to all who replied. I will look for some corn head grease after the
holiday. I do have a grease gun (ca 1950s), but will see if they have a
small one just for this.
BTW, I did find one web post regarding using the corn head grease in
vintage boxes, specifically Model A Fords. He did not like it because
it didn't work well at very low ambient temperatures. Under the bonnet
of a Healey in Seattle should not be a problem.
