I doubt one out of a Clipper will work. The parts book lists many differences.

Agree, the Clipper uses smaller and lighter duty almost everything and usually had a different ring/pinion ratio.

Sorry for all the questions, but one more. The differential I found on ebay is from a 1956 Clipper Super Touring Sedan. Will that be compatible with my 56 Patrician? Since I'm in Finland, I would only get the differential assembly, so I would be fitting the Clipper differential assembly into the Patrician rear axel housing. I would also use my existing rear axles. Are they compatible?


See if this guy has a diff in his parts car. He's a few hours away from me, so I can't really go and pick anything up, but I thought I'd let you know.

'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted.
'55 Clipper Deluxe. Engine is stuck-ish.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I've contacted the Facebook user with the parts car, as well as the major parts dealers. Let's see what comes up.

I have a 56 senior axle that would be suitable. I have to extract it from the pile so I can read the tag and tell you the ratio. Perhaps over the weekend.
