Differential question

VW shows a limited slip diff in their microfilm, but I've never heard of or 
seen one.  It is possible that it was made for the "Thing."  This should 
just "drop in" as long as you've got the jigs necessary to set up the 
clearances properly.

Better yet, leave it factory adjusted in it's original box, and just change 
the parts that your Type III requires.
