The plate is a damper blade which your car won't have. Guidance on greasing is here by year of build.You have bearings instead though I note the article still refers to a damper blade. Greasing

Paul. Were they the originals or have you had hard chrome fitted? Originals. I fitted DaveW's gaiters to the lower springs as soon was I got the car home. It's the best I have done so far - the previous car never did as well.

Bringing things back down to earth...ANY grease is better than no grease! +1 And a rebound spring gaiter makes a huge difference - the grease on the exposed king pin attracts road dust and grit which accelerates wear in the lower bush. I remember Mike Duncan telling me once that he rarely changes the upper bush on cars as it wears so little compared to the lower one which gets all the crud.

A bit of advice needed, if you'd be so kind.
Having had enough of juggling with a lever style grease gun I thought one of these blighters might be easier to use for my remote kingpin nips.
Is the 6k PSI figure of any significance? I don't want to do any damage.
Thanks.

Sorry, I thought it would be a link. Apparently, I don't get on well with technology.

A lever style gun will have that capability more so than the trigger type, you’d need a grip like Mike Tyson to achieve it - it’ll be fine.

I also use a grease gun coupler. That makes it much easier. Coupler
