The retaining device also includes a housing adjacent to the endplate for receiving at least part of the sensor. An additional member is mounted inside the opening in the endplate and includes a projection projecting outwards from the endplate. The additional member can be brought into engagement with the opening in the part such that the opening in the endplate is centrally aligned with respect to the opening in the part.
