Mike,
For your application, check out the characteristics of Delrin 150 plastic. I use it under a couple cable winches where the bolts are torqued down quite a bit. It is very resistant to deforming under compression. It doesn't really deform at all. Purchase a relatively thick piece that is better able to distribute the load evenly. I think you will be happy with it.
