What if you mill a circular recess into each of the inside the metal faces, then place a large thick spring in between? A single bolt (with thread locker) could be installed trough the center to keep the spring from popping out but still give flexibility.

It will be a bit tricky working the cutter bit around the rubber in a near perfect circle, cut not too deep on both inside surfaces of the metal so they line up for the spring ,just a slight groove, not cut too deep as to create a weak spot in the aluminum. If you can do this method,and use 5200 to fix the rubber, it is a great fix .
