Hmm, I only found these two:

   
http://www.chirco.com/cgi-bin/chirco.storefront/ 
4248c27201a2017e273f40772015063f/Search/Run

while they're $160.00  they seem more setup for sand rails, ie separate  
floor mounted.
Would love to hear how others have done this in a type 3..  I know from  
the archives that
at least Brian Fye has done a hydraulic clutch.  Did folks have to cut  
through the front
to make room for a master cylinder?

I'm going to try  to get the installation instructions for the SaCo  
kit, from ISP West,
but from what I can tell so far it looks like the master cylinder might  
go inside the tube.

and this was interesting on the SaCo kit:

"Evidently the master cylinder can be installed through the access  
hatch at the front of the tunnel and uses the stock clutch cable lever  
to hook up to."  from:
