I've got to mechanically decouple an EF86 socket from the chassis to reduce microphonics/vibration. Many discussions mention using o-rings around the screws and some mention using a bigger o-ring around the socket base. Others mention using grommets instead of o-rings, installed in the same places.
It made me wonder: are there silicone or rubber gaskets that fit the purpose?
It could be made for some other industry and purpose (automotive, plumbing, etc.), so long as it fits the hole for the tube socket and the two screws on the side.
Here's a photo of an unrelated gasket that shows what such a gasket would look like:

Anybody have any idea where I might get a fairly thin gasket that would fit a 9-pin tube socket? I am thinking the fit doesn't have to be perfect--the center hole could fit snugly against the ceramic socket base or go up as wide as the chassis hole (22mm or 7/8in).
Thanks in advance!
