You can 3D-print replacements.
Use Innoflex filament, 100% fill-in and the following OpenScad formula :

module ring(d1,d2,w)
{
difference()
    { cylinder( w, d1/2, d1/2,  $fn=230);
      cylinder( w, d2/2, d2/2,  $fn=230);
    }
}
ring(38.2,35,6); // TU60 Dectape-II

Already 2 TU60 have been repaired with the above.
