Not only are they recessed on the bottom to fit snugly over the post but they duplicate the post at the top so the CF strap fits snugly aver the stand-offs. If the top of your posts are a bit frayed, you'll have to dress them with a file or some sand paper to make the stand-offs fit.

One problem with raising the battery strap is that you lose the "top deck" effect of the CF strap when it is no longer snug against the posts. The #1226 stand-offs correct that problem.

If you already have the #1225 quick change kit, you won't have to change the studs -- they are the same. Just slide the stand-offs over your studs and use the dialed black nuts. You may have to raise the studs up a bit to make it all fit just right, and that may require a drop of CA on the end of the stud to keep it snug in the chassis, but it all works very well together and the black nuts are the finishing touch.
