The better solution isn't adding to the top of the tenon of the long joint, but a shim that you have inserted into the socket on the boot. This way you don't get a disturbance in the bore that looks like

For stability you'd have a matching ring on the long joint as well, but that's not where the acoustic should be set.
I don't personally find that adding a little length there does all that much to most bassoons, at most it affects the low E a bit, but that's mostly all. I know you didn't ask for that advice but I felt compelled to put it in.
Still, these aren't something you simply order, they have to be custom made to your instrument by a repair technician.
