Any one know of any heat isolating spacers or washers to use when
fastening a double heat shield together in order to form a space in
between them? I don't want to use metal, because I obviously don't want
to transmit heat.

What you are looking for is ceramic electrical insulators as
they are generally also very  good heat insulators.
AKA high voltage stand offs.

Also SS fasteners conduct less heat than plain steel.
Steel is 43 and SS is 16.
