The way I look at it, altering or modifying old original parts like that only
lowers the resale value. I doubt you intend to ever sell it, so the mods will
only increase it's value as far as you are concerned.
Just my 2 cents.

It worked...I guess.... It does not sit at the same
height as the other one. Guess I need to get the saw zaw out and do some
modifying to it.
I want it to sit at the same height as the front
rack. I am going to be attaching a awning to them.
I just hate to cut an original rack. Does anyone
one have one that is not in the greatest shape. Broken legs are
OK.

Try this if you can- tie a rope or
clothesline from one leg to the other across the bus, so
that you have 3 ropes, each going across from one leg of
the
rack to the other.
Then, using
some sort of rods or dowels, slowly twist each rope like a
tourniquet, pulling the legs closer together little by
little, until it bows up in the middle and fits in the drip
rails.
Try to go evenly, just a few turns on each
rope, and watch/listen closely for any signs heavy stress.

I had seen that, but the way I
read it is that it should fit a bay if it is made for a
bay or a split.
The rack that I have is on one
side in the drip rail and the other side is out about an
inch. It also seems to hit the roof. It is a 1/2
rack, has 3 legs on each side.
I am wondering if maybe it had
heavy stuff on it and it stretched.
It is in amazing condition. The
clamps still has the rubber coating, the metal is still
bright, it has the plugs at the ends of the open pipes,
It
has the blue decal with the part number.
So it was not used much. It came
out of the rafters in a barn in Waco.

roof rack
OK. went and picked up
an all metal bus roof rack today.
Thought I would use it
on my Bay.....well it is too wide.
Are splities wider than
bays on the roof?
