Tom's admonitions about the difficulty of working with Teflon make sense. Also, a big consideration is being able to assemble a prop to a model. Snaking a rubber hook of almost any type through a Teflon bushing would probably be a nightmare. One idea that still sounds doable would be to make an oversized hole in your thrust bearing, then glue a piece of Teflon of about the same thickness to the front of the bearing. The hole to fit the prop shaft would then be drilled through the Teflon. I've got some etched Teflon sheet stock so might give this a try when I find a time slot in the 100 other projects I've got going on right now!
