Title: Wood steering wheel & Bluemels adjustable boss ...
Post by: andyjboy on May 05, 2025, 12:38:20
Hi – this is my first post on the forum & am seeking advice.

I recently acquired this 15in wood steering wheel & Bluemels adjustable boss which I believe is for an Ace or Aceca.

I appreciate that this wheel, being 15in in diameter, is a replica but wondered what the value of this combination is likely to be.*

There are no manufacturer's (or other) markings on the wheel, which is in excellent condition &, apart from some marks on the plastic Bluemels adjusting nut (looks like it's been gripped with a pipe wrench or similar), the boss is in very good condition (I've cleaned & re-greased the threads).

* I know that new replica wood wheels in this style are available from Moto-Lita for ~ £400 & their 6-bolt bosses to suit are an additional ~ £200 (but with pinch-bolt rather than the screw adjuster).

Any/all suggestions/advice gratefully accepted.



SOLD !!!



For reference, I'm in the UK - based just south of Birmingham

A little surprised that, after 130+ views, there have been no comments.

This is not a scam of any sort & I am happy to provide additional photos if required.

Alternatively, if someone is interested in making an offer for the wheel & Bluemels hub/boss feel free to contact me - SOLD !!!

Thanks

Andy, a well made wheel, unfortunately it isn't going to look quite original because it's a smaller wheel. If you have space to store it, I'd put it on eBay for a couple of hundred pounds, and wait. Make sure to select international shipping. There weren't many Aces made so the market is fairly smaller. Good luck.
