Yes, plastic

washers between any nuts and the PCB

There are 6-32 nylon screws available, and nylon standoffs.

Here, in the UK, we use M3 or the old 4BA. There's a hardware shop [store] about a mile from me that sells nuts and bolts loose, so I can buy 10 M3*20mm for 60p (about US $1.00). They don't have nylon ones, though, and ordering them online will cost more in shipping than the cost of the parts!

I have plenty of fibre washers from old motherboard mounting kits, but plastic ones would do the same job.

I usually 'double insulate' by using 2mm thick styrene sheet (available from model shops). The bolts holding the styrene sheet to the metal case are not used to mount the PCB. The bolts holding the PCB are only through the styrene sheet and don't touch the metal case.
