You are missing the actual boss.

cheers lewy. so there another bit that attaches to this bit (ie the splined bit)? in theory could i just cut out the splined bit from the wheel and weld it onto this bit?

You need to obtain the correct boss,  do not improvise on something so safety critical.

They do the correct boss on eBay too

Or ask the seller for the bit or your money back as it doesn't fit

How the modified steering wheel would react in a crash is something I'd be concerned about more.
