Yes,

From a 1946 Trico catalog, Drivers side is KSB-222 and Passenger side is KSB-223.

100% on the North American models and it was actually pretty simple since identifying 2 or 3 of the 4 shown made the remaining ones easy.

The European ones I didn't try other than the British ones in post #21 which I managed to identify. The MG Magnette brings back memories of one that was owned by a friend and was dubbed the "Rust Magnet" due to the extensive lower body corrosion. It was also worn out mechanically and we had the engine out so many times that we had pulling it down to 45 minutes. I will forever associate the smell of British leather and leaked brake fluid with that car.

Your bracket is too short.

Length of the correct # 341497 bracket is 6-9/16" as measured on the outside of the turned up ends.

i'm not sure about the orientation to the bracket, but my first glance suspects that might not be the correct generator.


That's what I suspect as well. The original equipment Auto-Lite generator is a GEA-4802A for the 2103 and should not need a spacer between the mounting lugs and the bracket.
Some models with Delco generators did need a spacer.

In answer to Mal's question, the adjusting arm should be straight, not bent.

Edit: There should be a 9/16" thick spacer between the motor and the adjusting arm.

Wonder if the fabric or cardboard deteriorated and was removed or maybe a plain Clipper piece was installed over it. I do remember the sun did a job back there. That Patrician fabric I had was rotten and so was the top of seat back.


The rest of the interior is original and it doesn't look like the rear shelf was ever disturbed.

Parts book Group 31.4609 shows the same number 463246 for Clipper and 400 two door hardtop models. Patricians have a different part number.

I just checked a 5587 with Trim Set 85 (basically black & white) and found the rear shelf to be black colored panelboard with no cloth or vinyl covering. Checking from inside the trunk there seems to be a second separate layer of cardboard like material between the panelboard and the body.

No kits available as far as I know, so you would have to buy material by the yard and have it sewn up by an upholstery shop.

Bill Hirsch or LeBarron Bonney should have a close match for the headliner material. You would have to send them an inquiry to see if they can match the barkweave material used for the seats and door panels.

The dipstick is not reached from the opening in the transmission hump. That fitting is just the vent.
The access for the dipstick and fill tube is from underneath the vehicle and cannot be checked other than from a lift or by crawling from below with the car on jackstands.
