It doesn't look like Rory is coming back so I've ordered my own 1/8 inch stock from McMaster Carr - 9852K72. It should be easy to form after a few minutes in the oven 
This is thin enough to deform without causing any trouble to the tub or the inserts.

03/13/23 UPDATE: The McMaster-Carr UHMW PE material works very well. I heated an oven to 275 deg F and put the stock in for 15 minutes. On removal it was easy to form them on the old broken strakes to achieve the correct curvature. I then used several carpenter's clamps to hold them in position on the bench while they cooled. After drilling holes to the correct diameter using the old strakes as a jig, I painted them black using a plastic spray paint. I've run deliberately backwards and forwards over kerbs to test them and they deform easily rather than break. They seem pretty much indestructible so far.
