That rack looks the same as the Stirling full length rack I had on my EMPI bus..

Very nice, very solid. Looks like it just shorts the clamps.

What makes you say it was a Stirling? The regular Stirling racks that we all know and which were sold by VW dealers were very different.

I've always liked this one for its simplicity and attractive lines. Mine has been previously butchered, with the legs having been cut shorter and then lengthened again. I need to remake them. I have no idea who made it.

The one on my EMPI bus had 'Stirling' marked on all 8 clamps. Just had a look now at an old pic... mine was slightly different.

Its the one I sold Charles van der Merwe from Joburg. He came to collect it with his bus in Cape Town...

Pic of my one attached.... Agree with you Fig... the one for sale has nicer lines.

Yes, that's the Stirling rack sold through VW dealers. Completely different design to this one for sale.

The rack for sale is still an unknown make. This is the first one I've seen since acquiring mine. I had wondered if it was home made. Mine also came without clamps; I made my own by making custom brackets to grip the rack and the gutter rail, with a builder's turnbuckle welded between them.

Evening Fig,
"Mine also came without clamps; I made my own by making custom brackets to grip the rack and the gutter rail, with a builder's turnbuckle welded between them."
Any chance of posting some pics of the above please, I am also looking for some ideas to fix a homemade unit to my crew cabs roof.
Thank in advance.
Regards,
Llew
