The previous owner of my 53 had removed the floor start and replaced the ignition cylinder. I've since replaced the floor starter and purchased a stock ignition cylinder.

I wonder if someone could take a look at the linked photos, and tell me if in fact this is the stock ignition cylinder and also if I'm missing any parts. When the cylinder is installed there is a slight gap between the cylinder itself and the dash. I'm thinking there may be a trim piece that I'm missing? Also, the bracket has a hole, presumably for the light that is still dangling nearby. I'm not really sure what this is supposed to illuminate unless it’s to light up the space around the cylinder.

Thanks in advance.
