I installed a new countertop. 3/4 plywood, 1/4 backer board and tile.
Probably about 1 3/8" total. My old sink appears to be made for 3/4 thick
top. Can I buy new sink clips to install it in the thicker top? Or do I
buy a new sink? Or install it with some caulking to glue it to the counter?

Get new clips. They have clips for almost every thickness. We had
a problem with some concrete countertops once, but we even found
clips for that (3" thick).

Thanks. I'll check at Lowes.
If I can't find some maybe I'll chisel some notches for my clips to fit in.
