Any idea if the rack pictured will fit a split bus? I know the pic isnt the best but any help would be great.

If it fits a bay properly, it won't fit a split without mods. _________________ -Thom

I have a bay rack on my split bus and it fits fine. It sits maybe two inches above the roof in the middle. I've never had any other type of rack, so I don't know how high they are supposed to sit. _________________

you have that backwards. if it fits a split, then it will fit a bay without mods. the drip rails are the same width, but the roof of a split bus is higher in the middle than the roof of a bay. _________________ .

Mine always scrubbed the roof with all the weight I put on it so, my buddy kevinMC hooked me up before he split town and up-dated my rack to fit the bus. I need to repaint the roof because of all the scrapes on it and other probs.
