I tried packing the clamshell cavity with cornhead grease when I assembled my 38 pickup. I had to freeze the tube of cornhead grease overnight to get it to stay in. Kept falling out because our climate is too warm. When I drove the truck, a big wad of the ch grease worked its way out the back of the clamshell (new viton seal) because either I had too much in and or it got too thin. It has settled down now but I would not use it again in our climate.
I might try your idea on my new project, I was playing with that yesterday thinking that an extension from the grease nipple would be a good idea.
