The Bugeye rack and later rack are interchangable.
Meaning all of it including the mounting brackets.
The earlier racks have the grease fitting and are beefier.
Those would be the ones to use.
So keep the bugeye rack or stick a bugeye rack in a later Midget.
I am not sure when they changed. Sometime in the early 70s I think.
58 thru 69 are the same for sure.
