- Dear Listers, What is the difference between the steering rack from a Bugeye vs one from a later model midget say 72 or so? Is there an advantage of using one or the other ? Are they interchangeable

- 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 kee
