http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ESCORT-MK3-4-A...QQcmdZViewItem

1.3's have different hub centres

my old estate had 1.3 hubs still and i snapped a shaft and had to convert over to rs hubs and shafts to fix it

That 1st link to e bay above is for hub carriers and not hubs.Any hub from a mk 4 fits a RS Turbo as I've replaced mine 3 times so far.Regards,Micky

Micky, thats true, got it into my head he meant the carriers and not the hub itself. Thought they wore out more thats probably why.
