[T3] Type 3 console.

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

One thing I can see that might be different is how it fits to the underside of the dash not just how it fits to the hump.

Hello all,

I recently contacted TMI regarding purchasing one of their VW centre consoles.  To my surprise there is one made for a type 3 and a separate one for a beetle.  The type 3 model is a lot dearer ( a little more than double ).

Is the tunnel of my type 3 larger or smaller than that of a beetle or the fact the type 3 model has lower volume sales hence the difference in price?
I have put this question to TMI however no answer.  I am currently on an overseas trip and do not have my beetle or type 3 available to check.

I hope all you invasion people have a wonderful time. I will make it there one day!

Regards,

Ross Clarke ( type 3 fastback 1966 ) from Australia.

I use to use a console on Clementine that was originally used on a 70 beetle.  The 70 bug was my parents first vw and they got the console at the dealer when they bought it. Fast forward a couple of years and they traded this car for my Clementine. They kept the console and there it stayed till
89 when I quit driving it. Unfortunately it got lost sometime between 1989 and when we started restoration in 2010. So to answer your question on tunnel size (or the hump as we sometimes call it in my neck of the woods) yes they are the same or close enough to interchange between the two.  I wish I could find another one myself as they are quite handy.
