Well it seems like alotta sizes will fit, but T50 was right for me, might not go in at first but just tap it in with a hammer.

Hmm...that's strange! My Delta 88 used a # 50 torx bit for the calipers.... :?

How much smaller is it? It's most likely a # 52 then.

T7, T8, T27, T47...that's not going by fives in my book. You were correct in saying there is no T52.

BTW, just for reference, after working on the 87' delta 88, I looked at what Torx bit size I used, and it was a T55.
