I recently got annoyed by the propensity for my jockey wheels to run out
of lube. The trouble I suspect is that it is difficult to adequately
lubricate them during assembly, so I made it possible to lubricate them
after they are assembled.

I bought a grease syringe that fits my grease gun, and I drilled a hole
into the jockey wheel such that I can pump grease directly into the
middle of the plain bearings.

Campagnolo jockey wheels use a soft metal outer bearing material, so it
was easy to drill through the plastic wheel and the bearing material.

You mean the Campagnolo jockey wheels with the plain bearings (10 sp)? Get rid of them and buy Tacx jockey wheels with stainless steel ball bearings: https://www.bike-components.de/en/Ta...y-Wheels-p833/ (type 5) and you are done especially in your Australian climate. Campagnolo stuff is very durable except their jockey wheels with plain bearings. They are crap.
