Gear lever fork lube?

Hi everyone,
 
Does the gear lever fork for a Type E 4 speed require any lube on it, and if so, what kind?  I bought a shiny new quickshifter, and it looks too clean compared to the old stock one with 37 years worth of crud on it.
 
Thanks.

    if it moves, slides , pivots then it needs lube, something light like a lithium grease, which will stick to the metal but not melt and become a puddle because of the heat.

    ... do you have the plastic saddle that the lever fork sits in.
    Ford may still sell them .. If not it's eBay uk

    Yep, got the saddle, but a little bit of lube never hurts...
