6X5's   have always been a bug-a-boo to restorers. If you stay with the 6X5, try and find the "X" plate configuration. They're more dependable than the flat plate variety. If you're not happy with that idea, according to Riders Receiving Tube Substitution Guide, there are 14 subs for this tube....some straight replacements, others that are configured for a different base and some yet that still can just be rewired.
