I was just looking at these when I was at the wreckers the other day, I don't believe they'll bolt straight in but with a little moving of the pivot
ball they might.
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!

I know you can use the taller early T2 housing to make a quick shift for a bug so it really depends if the gearstick would engage with the beetle
shift rod.
Or get some 10mm bar and cut the beetle gearstick to lengthen with the 10mm bar. Seen plenty of guys on the Volkszone forum do this and is strong if
welded properly
