If your sprung bronze came from a specific manufacturer and you know who it is, then they probably can answer the question for you. I use Accurate metal,

So you might call them and ask.

it's Accurate bronze...I like that it's wide, don't like the lack of the ribs as found on the typical hardware store size (helps the seal)
Hope you've got a tack hammer...
You just have to fiddle the lockstrip in, get a nail started, & then set the nails with a punch
