Porsche Crest AOS replacement diaphragm available?!

Hi guys!
Just wondering if you've heard of a repair diaphragm part for 996/986 AOS. There's a guy on eBay selling a diaphragm replacement for a 986 AOS for $14.60. The item number is 381944508835 and can be found here.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/381944508835...witem=&vxp=mtr

I asked the seller if he had a write-up or know where to find one. I've searched in various Porsche forums and have not found any yet, many of pictures of the AOS internals but no write-up. I know the part is fairly inexpensive and the diaphragm cover is plastic-welded so, please spare me the lecture! (just kidding of course)
I believe the diaphragm cover could be removed successfully and then epoxied or JB-weld back together with the new part installed. I also think the AOS are very similar between 986 and 996 and that they probably use the same/similar diaphragm and just vary on the orientation so, is this doable? Has anyone attempted it?

Thanks beforehand for your comments.
