The Ford Barn

I had a circuit breaker fail in my 1941 Ford. The car is original and still 6V. It burned up some of the wiring when I had a short so I rewired the whole car along with put in another circuit panel (original 1941 Ford). Got everything done last night and everything works but the headlights. I checked everything and one of the circuit breaker lugs has zero power at it. So it looks like this circuit breaker is bad. I am going to put new breakers in it, the question is- are they different from 12V to 6V? The book at the parts store list tons of breakers, but are either 12V or 24V. Nothing mentioned on 6V. I assumed with the correct amp rating it would not matter...but I don't know too much

Any help on this? I wanna get this ol car back on the road!!!!
