If you look at the gas tank setup on '70s Beetles/Super Beetles there is an 
overflow/breather hose of the correct diameter, shape, and length. It is the 
fabric covered OE fuel hose type of hose. It obviously doesn't have a piece 
in it that will make it flush with where it enters into the trunk through the 
body, but it is quite a snug fit, so a little bit of silicon will seal the 
hole (or better, find a rubber grommet of the correct size).
I've used this on two Type 3s and they've both been fine for at least a year 
(still counting, I imagine). Better still, they're not going to cost you more 
than a dollar.
