What type of material (flat washer) would potentially give back ~3kg of pressure over an area of 1 square centimeter when compressed by ~1mm and come back to its normal thickness while reasonably keeping its elasticity properties within a temperature range of let's say 0c to 20c?
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, a synthetic rubber used in a range of applications. EPDM is used most commonly used in the automotive and construction industries for various seals due to its excellent resistance to environmental factors such as Ozone, UV and general weathering.

Thanks Dennis. I'm ~35km from the coast so no issues with salt (yet) I saw those in the same aisle as the ones I bought in Bunnings. The way I did the mod I can go back to the way the mount was if it's not working and I can also change the material used so will do some testing tomorrow. Just finished filling the holes. All drilled and tapped. Will post some pics tomorrow. Did the DEC only. RA backlash doesn't matter as much as the worm is always loaded.
Here's the idea. Like a crumple zone to stop binding and eliminate backlash. Got room for other material or belleville washers or small wave/disc/coil springs. Whatever will work. But I like the idea of the neoprene if it's elastic and comes back after compression over a hard spot. Also need to check if this will have any impact on guiding once the clouds clear. I can easily go back to previous mount operation as I used an existing hole.
