Just a question. I am not doing a tube shock replacement on my Midget, but
why wouldn't you remove the lever shox altogether? Wouldn't that reduce the
weight considerably? Are the lever shox required for some kind of support?
I'm just curious.

You are supposed to remove the valves from the lever shocks, thus totally
disabling them (making their condition irrelevant). This will be a lot
simpler than removing all that hardware...
