It can be done, you need a late beetle column,
I used a late type 3 in my old oval but it needed a bit of body work to make it fit right.

I used a Series 1 Golf... a fair bit of stuffing around but it can be done.
As Dave said they dont just bolt straight in body work has to be adjusted.
But the end result looks factory and better access to the controls, wipers and high beam switch
