I had a friend who had a 71 Beetle. I was there when he went to put a set of 
self adjusting seatbelts from a later Beetle into his 71. I clearly remember 
that he had the spikes and didn't know what to do with them. In later Beetles 
there is a hole in the metalwork for that spike so that it can hold the reel in 
the correct orientation.

I don't remember seeing that spike on type 3 reels, but I COULD still be wrong.

The adapter plate used on type 3s is different in other ways, also, so you're 
better off getting the right ones. I MAY have some.
