Perhaps I don't understand the question, any auto parts store willing to take the time should be able to provide you with a data sheet giving all the various sizes and capacities of 6 volt batteries still in manufacture, and get one for you. Although there are only 3 or so lead/acid battery makers of any significance in the USA, the array of sizes and capacities is quite significant. The NAPA or Delco 7210 is a heavy duty commercial truck/bus 6 volt battery that I assume is still in manufacture and I can recommend if it will fit in your battery box. Any 6 volt battery that fits in the box should perform OK.

Of course you can go to one of the several boutique battery companies and get one that looks like an original with the of-the-era script on it, but you pay quite a bit more for what is usually not as good a battery. And as long as yours in concealed in the battery box, I don't think that expense is warranted.
