How do I assemble this Schreader tire gauge?

I assemble it but gauge just falls out when tipped, am I missing a piece possible?

I'm gonna need four monitors to see the whole picture.
Didn't know we could post poster-size photos

Based on the parts I see:
Place spring over gauge, (loose coils up).
Pass gauge through brass locator bushing then plastic bushing. Spring should rest on brass.
Insert spring/bushing and gauge assembly into body.
Place diaphragm plunger on top of spring/gauge assembly and hold in place while installing the Schrader head.
Screw down Schrader head.

Test with known pressure for accuracy and repeatability. If inaccurate, invert the spring and retest.

OR

Toss the whole thing out and get another for a few $.

Your gauge is similar to the ones supplied for ww11 jeeps, the links above may help.

You can't put a price on sentimental value.

Here's a restoration guide for these I found. It looks like it has some detail on how to make the felt gasket that may help you.

Hope it helps. http://www.avi-plus.com/repair-tips...-us-wwii-schrader-tire-gauge-restoration.html
