Bay racks are not as tall, but they'll still fit. It'll just sit lower to your roof. May or may not be an issue on a full lenth rack, shouldn't be a problem on a shorter one.

They fit.

Load them down and it will rub the top though.

I have a bay rack on my 1967 SO42. Fits without any problems. Doesn't follow the curved roofline of
a split bus (previous owner dumped the original one when the wooden slats rotted away), but it's height
adjustable, so no roofhugging over here Cool
