Sean, On my daily errands bike I mounted a T.A. rack. I used the regular bolts and everything works fine. I ride this bike daily for more than two years now - absolutely no problems. See some pictures here: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Drexl/Peugeot/

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.
