Rive D36HSP

[TF_JohnH]

I have an old RX D25 Rive box and am considering an upgrade. One thing holding me back is the cost of the add ons. Obviously none of the D25 stuff will fit so is it a case of replacing everything? I recon I could easily be into another £300 on top of the grand for the box itself unless there is an alternative.

John, it’s a much more affordable way if you was to keep your current D25 attachments, and buy a few D36 clip one attachments. Any Rive stockist will sell them, from memory they’re £6ea. Then it’s a simple case of drilling the rivet off the D25 attachment, and re-attaching the new D36 clip. The only item you may struggle with is a side tray – assuming you use the largest Rive side tray. It can’t be addapted to the D36 leg easily. I hope this helps.

I just upgraded myself John, £1350 later and I am about there .

Luckily it sits on a Preston shuttle so no need for a wheel kit .

The only reason Rive brought out the D36 in my mind is that you purchased the D36 mm accessories ,who in there right mind would buy any for a D25 when all Preston and loads of other people make stuff that fit at half the cost

You could buy some tapped rings and rivet on trays and arms but if your going to spend £1000 on a box then surely it’s worth spending the extra and buying the D36 accessories ?

I have the wheel kit for the D25 so that will need replacing too. I do have an old River rock trolley but that is a bit small for the Rive box so it looks like another Rive kit or a Preston jobbie. £1500 is looking a more realistic budget!!

with a bit of thought and a rivet gun most fittings can be adapted with the use of the clip one rings even the side trays and preston fittings.

Just priced it all up and with the wheel kit side tray and a bar for the keepnet across the front on the box its just under £1500 in total.
I think thats too much and I can see why so many are looking for a second hand one.

John,

Wheels kit wise, and no idea how much the rive one is, look at the gt precision wheel kit. Turns the box into a barrow, much better and strong than the rive wheel kits.

Also, have a word with andy pell at chiltern baits, I bet he’d do you a good deal on a new rive. He’s on here too as tractorboy. Fosters also do them at 10% off nathans prices, plus they do interest free finance.

Thanks will have a think about it. The Rive wheel kit is £170. The Preston shuttle is £100 cheaper approximately.
Frutrating, as I have a Rive wheel kit for the D25 but it will not fit the D36.
