Default Parts for TB bypass

I know how to do the bypass but i dont know what the right parts are to get and where they can be found? Anyone know? Plus i was thinking....since coolant acts and an anti-rust on bare metal, then has anyone ever heard of the TB rusting on the inside since there is no longer coolant flowing through it?
