I THINK Type 1s will work, but be careful, the steering shaft spline 
is the same on all years, but the horn circuit, and the corresponding 
portion of the steering wheel, varies by year.

There's a sort of knob on a lever; fastys use the same hardware. 
Someone should be able to send you a photo.

VDO made a custom tach for Type 3s, but those are rare as hen's 
teeth, and priced accordingly. I don't know if there's anything else 
that's a drop-in replacement, but I've seen gutted OE clocks with 
aftermarket tach guts installed.
