TORX T55 bit?

I recently had to borrow a Torx T55 bit to replace my front discs on my Xantia, but this source is unlikely to be ther for uch longer.
Is the T55 size used much elsewhere on the vehicle?
I had tried to buy a T55 bit but found that they are very rare, my existing Torx set goes from T50 to T60.
Do the sets sold by GSF part numbers 98730, 98731, or 98732 contain a T55 bit (Bit as opposed to socket) Or can anyone recommend a not too expensive solution.

I bought a T55 from Halfrauds for about a fiver when I did the head gasket on my BX. Other than Xantia front calipers, I can't think of anywhere else it is used - although I have a dim memory that the engine mount on my mate's Xantia HDi had T55 bolts in it.

I brought mine from the local market (Chepstow) - it cost £2.50 and came in a set of 5 (the others were smaller) with an adapter for socket drive included. What a bargin!

I got mine from a local tool shop in Glasgow (not local to me now as I've moved) but you can get a decent Britool one online from Toolbank

Only today I was under the back of my Xantia giving the height adjuster a spot of grease. While down there I looked at the antiroll bar which I've got to loosen off sometime. That's held on with two T55 screws at each end.

The set I have comes from www.screwfix.com It's made up of T20,25,30,40,45,50,55 and comes as two sets in 30mm and 75mm lengths with a 1/2 inch drive adapter. And all for £7.99. Only trouble is that if your order is less than £45 you get clobbered with £5.95 p&p.

I bought one (half inch socket drive) which was labelled as a Ford cylinder head tool.
