Anyone knows what material I can use to shockmount the condenser's capsule?
What should I use to put in between capsule and capsule holder?

I've never seen any material between a capsule and saddle.
 
Peluso has a rubber "stem" that the saddle attaches to. The HST-11a and all its clones also use a version of this "stem" for shockmounting purposes. Also check out internal pics of a Neumann U-87, AKG C12, and AKG C 414 because they too use shockmounted capsules. So to answer your question rubber or elastic is good for shockmounting, and nothing goes between the capsule and the saddle.
