Just bought a TA front rack/bag support (en route). It¹s the type that mounts to the pivot bolts on MAFAC centerpull brakes like the racer, competition, etc. Just curious if anyone has experience with these? Do yo u need to find longer pivot bolts, are will the stock ones on racers work? Just looking for a bit of advice.

For reference, an image from Joel¹s amazing TA resource:
