For the rear I can get by with just the shell if need be, I have a 32h I can cannibalize but the front needs to be complete.
I have a front Shimano 36H from the era, but not RSX. Exage 500EX, if I remember correctly. Decent hub.
Also, there are almost no differences between Shimano hubs of the era in terms of shape. Finish might be different (this one is polished anyway), locknuts might be differently shaped and I guess they might be using slightly different materials, but my suspicion is they were churning them all out from a single production line and then just changing finish and some hardware and putting them in different boxes. Put in decent grade bearing balls and Bob's your uncle
