You need to provide more details of the "diaphragm" so that we can understand what item it is. Is it in the carburettor, fuel pump...?
On the HOME page of the zxrworld website there is a section: "microfiche". Press that and then again on the H model. Then look at the exploded diagrams for your item to give us more information. Note that you have an H2, and this set if for an H1, but it should still be sufficient to provide more information.

Basically most keihin cvk parts will fit each other. Just check which models have those cvk as carbs and try to get some repair stuff there, maybe even a used but working carburetor. You can get them for less then 100£ on eBay in very good conditions
