Ignition Switch Retention

Hi All,
A soggy hello from Upstate New York.
I have a 72 Sprint with the ignition switch mounted on the steering column. The problem is, the white ignition switch part that attaches to the ignition wires falls off of the barrel that holds the ignition key. Does anyone know how the switch is supposed to be held firmly on to the ignition lock barrel?
Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks Phil,
That is great! Mine has a shroud but the end where it clips on to the housing is missing an inch long piece that would hold it on tight. Now that I know it is the shroud, I just need to find one. I wonder if Ray would sell the shroud without all the rest of the components. I will be calling him in the AM.
Thanks again Phil for your quick and informative response.

gents and nerds,
No mentioning of the tiny screw that secures the pressfit. of the cover.
You will see a corresponding hole in the lock
These are very small and elusive ( dont ask ! ) and not the size you will find in your boxes,
Once loosened it is often impossible to relocate but fortunately a cover in good fettle will hold itself.
