Front Door Handle fixing

Hi, Does anyone know if there should be some kind of retaining nut or clip for the front screw on the door handle front hook fixing?
The fixing screw is just spinning on mine and all a bit loose? could it just be the metal has worn? or should there be a grommet of some type to screw into?

There is a screw on the front and one at the rear. see the diagram number 20

Thanks Briano,
I have the screw its just very loose into the bodywork aperture.
I'll try and pad it out so it hold a bit better. may even be able to get a nut on the other side if i take the interior door panel off.
Thank you
Tony
 

You could just use a slightly larger sheet  metal screw, as if you have to change it out, then that nut dropping the interior panel is a right pain every time.  


Another trick, is to Wrap the Screw with teflon tape,

Clean the area of the threads to be devoid of Grease and dirt.

Slather a bit of 50/50 mix of Epoxy, coat the Screw, and screw it in.  (only the screw) as you as you want it to tighten the Screw threads.

The better fix is a RIVnut or possible a speed nut.

Rivnuts are put in with a "Pop" rivet tool.

Thanks Briano, some great advice.
