55 and 56 had 11 inch brakes(big safety upgrade in 55).52-54 Ford passenger cars were 10 inch brakes.Likely you have 54 brakes on that car.

LON (9/9/2011)
I know there is a difference in the width of brake drums (ie ,Sedans,Wagons,& Thunderbirds pre 57 ( 2inch Vs 2.25 inch )) .Is there a difference in diamater between '54 & '56 ??? Was there 10 inch & 11 inch drums ???? A mate has a 56 Customline chassis fitted with small brake drums . Maybe someone has fitted early Falcon drums at some stage of it's life ??? Lon Lon, i believe up to 54 had 10" drums, xr falcon backing plates and drums can also interchange.
