Like Beachbum said......
Everything else can be made (except for the base obviously). The "T" that splices into the degas bottle is a simple brass 3/8" "T".
The "T" that scavenges coolant from he 3/4" heater hose on the RH side of the engine is a 3/4" to 3/8"...that is alot of reduction and alot of potential leaks....brass is very hard to seal once you get into the smaller diameter stuff....normally breaks if tightened too tight.
By the time your done your going to have 2 lbs of brass free floating or tapping on the RH valve cover if not secured (but I am pretty sure you thought of that).
The dieselsite kit is basic, but what sold me is the CNC(machined) 3/4" to 3/8" "T" that splices as the above mentioned. It is clean looking and it is light (ounces). I have seen pics of the menagerie of brass needed to complete this "T" needed. In my opinion it looks sloppy, heavy and almost like I am looking underneath someones sink at their plumbing.
Just my opinion

Great price and fast shipping.
When I bought mine, they shiped for free when you bought 4 shocks.
Check them out and compare. Call them if necessary, but they are a high volume Bilstein dealer.
Save your receipt, as Bilstein has a lifetime warrenty through Bilstein directly.
