Frame jig series 1

Postby Watfordwhite » Thu Dec 28, 2017 9:41 pm

Anybody know who can jig a S1 frame. Just want to ensure its straight before paint?
Or any good recommendations?

I guess that might depend on what work was done?

Just to keep you up to date. I received a PM from Steve highly recommending John Benson in Tewkesbury. Dropped my frame off to him today. What a smashing guy. Great to talk to. Put it straight onto his jig and found out it was about 1/2 inch out of line. While his wife made me a coffee. What more can you ask for?
Great service, great guy, highly recommended to anybody who needs this or any restoration service done.
Wielding
Ali wielding
Frame and forks Jigging
Blasting
Body and paint work.
PM me if you ever need his number

And a very nice TV it was to. Good to meet you ToBoldly.
I fell in love with John's LD. And I'm not an LD fan.

+1 recommendation for John Benson Wilson. He has done several frames for me and accurately replaced a fork tube, struts, aligned a frame loop.

Just to finish this. I got a call from John yesterday to say that the frame was now done, blasted and etched primered.
That includes the wielding that was required.
He is now doing some Ali wielding for me on the S1 headset. Great all round service.
