You may want to consider a Belleville washer to replace the wavy
washers. They are cupped and bear all around on one side and in the
center on the other side. By placing they back to back they provide a
spring action and can be stacked as high as needed. A good industrial
supply house can help with applications in terms of deflections and
sizes. They will not "stack" together like a wave washer and will
provide a more consistent spring action as well as height adjustment
both by metal thickness and spring action.

I use them in the main gear struts on the amphibs. A combination of the
urethane doughnuts and steel bellevilles work well here.
