I am afraid I cannot answer that, Ryan. I do not know if the unit has been assembled in a 'destroy it apart' design, or what the diaphragm specs are. I think your best bet would be to see if you can get one from a scrappy, and then see what you get.

From what I've seen from earlier link that was provided it's a take apart design, just not sure if a diaphragm can be made/improvised till I get a replacement. If only Cubans drove C8s I'd have a multitude of answers :)

Might I suggest you ask Marc if the swirl valve (on your C8) is on other PSA vehicles. If it is you may find one that is more accessible at a scrappy.
