[Healeys] Sealing WW spoke heads

[Charlie Frazer]

Im restoring a set of Dunlop wire wheels.
Im to the point where the painting is complete and Ive been told its
important to seal the spoke heads on the inside of the hub to prevent
grease from the splines being thrown out of the hub and down the
spokes.
Ive used clear silicone to seal the spoke heads inside the outboard
neck of the hub.  Is it important to seal the heads on the back (wide
side) of the hub as well?
Thanks for your help.
