11 inch is good. Could you see if he will get pics of the rotors to see if they are smooth or gouged?

Your car is nearly identical to the Australian 1955 Ford Customline that was illustrated on the original Post Card that was issued by Ford Australia. This was the only model 1955 Ford that was offered in Australia beside the Mainline Ute. They all came with the new 272 OHV Y Block and standard Three Speed Manual Transmission. The only choice that a new car buyer got was what colour he wanted. We were not spoiled like buyers in the USA where buyers got many body styles in three series to choose from.

I have a space saver spare off a Lincoln and it is 4.5.
