A collection of bits to assemble into a float valve, where can I find a diagram to put it together? Modern plastic type with a large rubber diaphragm.

Picture as requested. Left it large so you can zoom in. Float has "Macdee" on it, other bits no identification.

That's the order it goes then it fits inside the big plastic bit, the white bit goes through the hole in the valve, the washer sits on the flat end, the nozzle fits the other side of the washer, and the little fibre washer seals it.

Don't know what that little red bit is, but should be obvious I think.

You have a white nozzle for high pressure, and a red one for low.

the odd red bit is for securing the float to the arm, it looks like the float securing screw is missing, unless its on the float out of camera shot.

I was looking for something like that diagram a couple of weeks ago. Thanks very much. I've just confirmed that I did figure it out correctly.
