Jack, The pivot bolts on the Raid are spaced 12 mm farther apart than on other Mafac center-pulls. But, the arms on the rack will easily bend to accommodate this change and you can bend the flats slightly to parallel them with a simple crescent wrench. However, the main issue was an additional narrow horizontal support rib forged onto the back side of the Raid's central yoke. I had to file the rib down on each side of the mounting bolt hole to accept the width of the TA rack's central mounting plate. This was around 35 mm wide and the open flat area on the yoke was only around 15 mm. Worked fine after this minor modification - taking just 5 minutes with a simple flat mill file.
