Not a bad price but even tho it is labeled 55-56 they are not the same pad. If the illustration is accurate it looks to be a better option than the one with AC openings but 55 does not use the slots for the brake pedal support on either side of the L vent opening. Those will show unless you cover them with the carpet strip as used on senior cars. If not already embossed in some fashion waiting to be punched out, for a 55 you will need to locate and add holes or an opening for the one piece brake support bracket which will be above and to the right of the steering column cutout.

Hi Stewart,
I had purchased a firewall insulator for my 1931 833 from Quiet Ride Solutions and was very pleased with it
Here is a link to a 1955 one they offer.
