Italian term or phrase: di pezzo su
From a patent concerning fuel injectors:

"Le appendici di bloccaggio dell'elemento distanziale sono realizzate di pezzo sulla lamiera metallica"

Can I say "... made of a piece with..." here?

made of one piece (?)
Explanation:
It sounds to me like what they want to say is "da un pezzo unico" or "dallo stesso pezzo," (i.e. that these "appendici" are made of a single piece or that they are made out from the same piece of metal sheeting as the
spacer), but I'm guessing! Do you have any drawing that could confirm this?

Thanks. I think I'll stick with my gut feeling and say "of a piece with", as this is the most English-sounding way of putting it.
