Default Another door handle question.

When I pulled my drivers side outside door handle out, all the parts flew everywhere and I don't know how to put it back together. When I put the spring and cup on the inside of the outside escutcheon (which is held in place by the two screws), the handle will wobble on the outside even though the door latch works fine. There seems to be too much slop on the outside between the handle and the cup in the escutcheon. Am I missing a part that goes between the handle and the escutcheon on the outside? Where can I find a diagram or photo of how the handle is assembled?....I've looked everywhere.

If your handle is a repop made by Vintique, it is not quite the same. Close, but no cigar!
