David and Russ,

I am almost sure that this will not be of assistance to you, but the same fuel
filler neck grommet was also used on Type 4 (VW 411 and VW 412) vehicles.  My
1969 Type 4 had a completely rotted grommet and after months of searching
wreckers yards I eventually found quite a good one on a late model Type 3.
So, in your searches, look at Type 4 wrecks, too.  By widening your search
options you just might strike it lucky.  Good luck!
