Question Tuffnol spacers just under red manifold?

Hi all,

I've been looking at Tuffnol spacers for a while, can they only be fitted between the block and inlet? I wonder if you can just take the red inlet manifold off and not the section which holds the injectors and fit in between there?

Hmm, sounds a big job. I thought I could just take the red inlet off without the parts below (which I thought the injectors were fitted against).
