Does gibb strips come in standard sizes, or are they all proprietary to each manufacturer/machine?

I have a machine that is missing one and I’m wondering if it can be bought off the shelf and cut to length? Machine is obsolete and not worth anything other than preservation of history & company long gone.

It’s been suggested to use a strip of brass. All gibb strips I have experienced have been ground steel with a trapezoid shape.

This one fits a dovetail so would be trapezoid also.
