These new pumps don't provide any lubrication capability. You just
install the pump and leave it alone. I don't even think a new pump
from the regular brit-cars vendors (TRF/Moss/VB/etc.) will have the
grease fitting anymore.
Anyone recently buy a new TR-6/250 water pump that can say if the
new ones from the regular vendors still have the grease fitting?
