you use the word nuts, that's confusing, as allen keys don't undo nuts, they undo bolts.
Are the bolts drilled and tapped blind into the boss or are there nuts behind which you can grab hold of with a spanner??

By the looks of things the guy you bought it from didnt have a boss kit either so it should fit.

The boss is the bit with the big hole in the middle to bolt on the steering column.
If your new steering wheel doesn't have one column sized hole down the centre of it then you will need a boss.
How did the nardi steering wheel you had on originally, come off in the end??
One big nut in the centre, or 6 nuts round the outside??

Hmm, I wonder if that wheel you're fitting will retain indicator cancelling.
Sometimes a problem with aftermarket wheels and bosses if the correct parts aren't used.
Suck it and see though.

well? any luck with getting it fitted?
some pictures of the back of both wheels would help us to give you definitive answer.
Also, take note of the indicator stalk thing mentioed above. When I fitted an aftermarket and boss kit to my old car the indicators stopped self camcelling and the boss broke the horn connection.
