I have an original exxon graftek frame jig and 1000s of lugs for sale. Very heavy jig so can't ship. Also have extra jigs to help do custom rear triangle assy. Selling cheap so that someone can put this stuff to good use. Call my cell phone at 321-###-#### or home # at 321- ###-#### or work at 321 ###-####

Oh, man! But sadly for me (and very happily for my wife) the words "Melbourne/Palm Bay" mean nothing to me.

This sort of stuff can be had fairly readily if one joins the Framebuilders list. Perhaps not readily, but it's out there.

I assume that the frame jig would not be specific to an Exxon Graftek but could be used for any frame?

so anyone buy it yet?

how heavy is that kind of thing really? is anyone in the area who'd want to be a suorrgate purchaser?

Frame Jigs weigh in the realm of 100lbs usually. I don't know about that one.
But that is an amazing deal. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I was near.

I edited out the phone numbers. If you want to find out, read the craigslist ad linked above.

Whoever gets this should post pictures, I'd love to see a pile of thousands of Graftek lugs.

I would assume that since the lister says it is for an Exxon Graftek and he has 1000's of lugs that it came from EG and would probably not be a frame jig made for brazing but for gluing up tube sets. Maybe it could be used for tacking or pinning and free brazing?
