Default R-59 Battery Recommendations

My R-59 reproduction TurboStart Battery is on it's last leg.Considering going to a generic store bought top post Battery,and just add the R-59 topper to it for local cruises.
Can anyone recommend a good store bought matching top post battery today? Something preferably that would need very lil modifications with a similar sidewall that matches the old R-59 Delco eye design?

Recently bought this NAPA battery. Fits the topper and the Chevelle battery tray perfectly.
Maybe not what you're looking for but fits well.

I just bought a standard sealed top battery & put a topper on it. We have a battery whse here in Tucson. Batteries come with no labels. They have reals & reals of labels to be used on the battery before it's shipped to Walmart, O'rielly's, Merles or whoever is the selling dealer. I think there's only a coulpe of places actually making batteries today. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my reproduction R59 that died...Joe
