  I bought these a while back, best purchase I’ve made in a while, used to have problems gripping the originals in cold weather being an old arthritic git.

  I have them, expensive but very good – rive ones are crap and strip the thread way too easily

  I’ve had mine about two years now and have to say they are BOB-ON well worth the money, the only negative side is they add approximately one pound in extra weight to your box, however, if you fish commies you can drive behind your peg . . . . . .sorted ~clap

  Who are you trying to demand pics from Skimmer ?
  
  They are black Ali knobs for a RIVE box, not really much to look at.

  Pat is right in that I only have limited sets left, I will try and find some photo’s of the knobs as I did take some a while back.
  
  Lloydd, you are wrong. I was selling them for Â£35 including postage, and TBH I haven’t made much on each set as the main reason for having sets to sell originally was because I have to make them in large batches. And ultimately I wanted a set.
  
  I might make up some more sets if there is enough demand but it costs me quite a bit up front in materials.
  If I say so myself they are one of the best improvements you can make to a rive box, and lets be honest if your willing to pay anywhere between Â£300 to Â£1000 for a seatbox Â£35 is not exspensive to improve it no end.

  sorry nick, thought it was Â£40 !

  I browsed online looking for where i could have a set made and got an engineering place in UK that would make any type of handwheel or tightening knob as required.
  
  Spoke to the rather nice assistant who informed me that my requirements would cost me Â£9.00 (EACH) Thats Â£54 not including postage so at Â£35.00 its an item worth having.
  
  Just hoping i have managed to get a set.

  bought my 2nd set now for my other rive, as they boys the quality remains when the price is long forgotten

  hopefully will get my first set but dont know if a set has been set aside for me for sure.

  Sensakidni1964 has had the last set.
  
  There does appear to be quite a bit of interest again for them so I am considering making some more.
  I would want people to commit to a set before I get some made up. Last time I asked for interest I had quite a few people show interest but disapear when they were ready. As a result I would want either a deposit or cheque for the full amount, then I will get them made. (I wouldn’t cash any cheque’s until they are ready mind.)
  They take about 2 weeks to make including sending them off to be anodised.
  
  So if anyone is interested PM me and I’ll give you details of how to pay.

  Thanks for that ndm. Cheque will be in the post first thing in the morning.

  Well ndm3108 if you do make some more please can I have a set. These sound the dogs and like you say if your spending a bag of sand on a box then Â£35 is nowt!

  Nick,
  
  Dumb question, will they fit the Rive 25 ml legs?
  
  (Awaits embarrassing reply)~sick

  TF_ndm3108
  Yes mate, they will fit both the D25 and D36 boxes as all they do is replace the plastic rive knobs.

  Hi,
  
  I will take a set if you have some more made, I already have a set previously bought from you and I am well impressed with them.
  
  Cheers
