Measure for yourself, put the cock at half cock and measure from the top jaw screw to the closed frizzen. Then subtract 1/8” for the gap needed plus the leather wrap for the flint. Also measure how wide will not hit the barrel and engage the frizzen.
I just put a new flint in mine, it is 7/8” wide by 1” long. It is about as big as will fit.

Appreciate it both, ill measure when I get home to be sure thank you
@Phil Coffins is providing a good answer. I like to do as @Loyalist Dave shows in the following thread. The notch at the fold in the leather allows for a longer flint and provides a more substantial backing to the flint.

This is what you need. I sold mine recently buy the 7/8" x 1" were on the money.
3/4" a bit small and 1" too wide.
Great guns.

A short cut is to email TOW. Tell 'em what gun you have, or even what lock, and they will get back to you very quickly, and refer you to their catalog where yoh can order them.
