Unanswered: 4-piston Volvo Calipers install

Hi Guys!
Got a few calls and emails on how to install the Volvo 4-pot calipers the easy way, without "tees" and having to run two hoses back to the solid line. The pics shows you how you can combine the ports at the caliper therefore allowing you to even use the original Opel flex hose.

Very clean and neat installation, 3-d software ain't bad either....

This is cool, but, where do you get the orange "block" in the diagram? The other parts look like they're fittings and washers from EARL'S

The kit is $110 and it inclues the braided hoses.
We also have the complete brake kit including hubs, rotors, calipers, pads and all hardware for $375.

I've had to replace the cailpers on a Volvo before and they are a colossal pain in the spanner. That's a great bit of kit.
