All my diodes were IN4148s too. I used my own ceramic caps including a 0.22 uF tropical fish one.
I also used all electrolytic caps of my own. An electronics engineer once advised me to use the same value but largest possible electrolytic capacitor that fits. And use low ESR ones too where possible.
