Don't forget to grease the inside of all those bolt tubes Ted or it's just a place for rust to start.

I will Ken, I even grease inside the headstock between the bearings and spray waxoyl inside the frame where I can - a 50 year old bike needs all the tlc I can give it - until I shuffle this mortal coil then the next custodian/owner takes over.
Oddjob:
On the end of the swinging arm are 2 small vent holes, I intend to fill my swinging arm with Waxoyl and then drain it out after a couple of hours. Prevention is better than trying to repair.

That's what I have done ... the chassis tins usually come with a very small long tube to aid getting right inside

Might be a fire hazard when it's powder coated in the future.
I attended a garage fire back in the 1979/80 where an enthusiast was carrying out some electric welding on his beautiful Vauxhall PA Cresta. The POs Waxoyl caught fire gutting the interior. The poor chap was in tears it was in that lovely two tone Silver Sage combination.
