Default Rear heat shield foam tape question

Hi, I have the rear heat shields off on my 997.2 GT3RS. The foam/felt tape that keeps things quiet/snug is falling apart. Any recommendations of where or what to order to replace it? I figured it needed to be something that can withstand the heat. See pictures below…. Thanks!

It's not worth replacing this because the bumper comes off frequently for any major service - most people don't. It will simply peel off due to heat and abrasion the next time you take off the rear bumper reinforcement.

Thank you for the response nle, Decided to just go ahead and put things back together the way they were. Wish I had the replacement felt/foam tape but I guess it's not really that important. Thanks!
