They stock the smaller one.  The large one they matched up for us.  Took a few days to get.  They were almost $40 each from NAPA though.

Biff,

This guy has a pile of aux diaphragms. Looks like he is accepting offers of $15 each. Don't know where they're made, but most likely USA since they're NOS Bendix. You could certainly ask:

Mohawk sells them in sets for $78.50. Shipping is prepaid on orders over $50. Don't know where they're made, but you could call and ask:

Justmake sure you don't pick them up by the shaft after you re-assemble them or you'll have to take them apart again. Use a lithium grease for the the locks so they won't freeze on you.

If you manage to lock them extended all you need is around 40 psi applied to the lock collar port, and they will unlock again.

Bought from Mohawk a few years ago and was happy with parts I bought.
