Has Anyone Opened Up Their Thermovalve?

While trying to replace some vacuum lines, I pulled the front of the thermovalve away from the housing. Some pieces popped out and are shown in the 2nd picture. I put the thing back together and it stays open, even when I apply 12v to it, so it has failed. There are so few pieces and they seem to go together only 1 way so I think I have it together correctly. However, it looks like there may be ghost of a small part in the center of the closeup of the cap which I may be missing.

Since new ones seem to be mostly NLA, I'd like to try to repair it if possible.

Has anyone opened theirs up and is able to tell me if I have all the required pieces, or can you show me a pic of the internals in their completed state so I can compare?

Thanks.
