Someone who's into reperfs should find something that works for that.
I've been asked for that part before, but don't have one.
(I'm not into reperfs, just tape printers, and have a parts 14 reperf
I've used for tape printer parts.)
If someone does, would they please measure it out and post the
results?  There's probably a stock rubber bumper that would work.
Take a look at these:

and at how to measure them:

Given dimensions A,B,C, and D, the mounting hole
diameter and the panel thickness, it should be
possible to find or make something.  There's
probably a standard part that can be ground down.
