I have a key on my clarinet that has a teflon spacer as described above, and I concur with Clarnibass that it is not an ideal solution. Easy to lose it when dismantling the key (and it might seem as though that is just an issue of "taking care", one day I might have to do this in less than idea circumstances.... earlier this year I spent 5min of a pro gig crawling on the floor looking for a screw lost from a colleagues bassoon...).
Also (as Clarnibass originally stated) it solves the problem on endplay by removing the movement in the direction of the length of the key (longitudinal play?) without solving the problem that the width of the screw-point has play.
That said, I've played with that spacer there for about 2 years now without any significant problem (I don't think I could have done so with a cork pad, but the valentino pad on the key is quite forgiving). I don't believe it to be the most ideal solution, but it works for now.
