Sorry, must chime in here. The use of Teflon spacers or shims in this application is a very bad idea. Bulk Teflon flows in response to long term static pressure. These shims will relax and change thickness over time. The effect would be particularly strong if the spring directly contacts the Teflon. I have readily moved 1/2 inch bar stock, 1/2 inch into 3/4 inch thick bulk Teflon. Frank Grunthaner
