Sourcing FP Journe Springbars
So I just got three straps for my Optimum in from Camille Fourne, unbelievable quality! Gorgeous straps!

I'm sure they must come bent, but I just bend them
Typically you would just pull the curved spring bar out of the old strap and put into the new one. If you don't want to do that you can buy new ones. You need to specify the distance between the lugs. One of my suppliers in the USA, Esslinger sells a pack...
With Journe the existing spring bars are integrated with the strap and can't be removed.
Esslinger might not have the required size, otherwise not a bad option. So measuring carefully and doing it yourself might be the only option ...
