I have some of them, but there are at least 3 different versions. VW used 
different ones over the years. The front one is the one that's usually the 
worst. I just sold 2 rears to someone who might have his 2 old rears he'd be 
willing to part with. They weren't in bad shape. That was for a '71 and I didn't 
have a correct replacement for his front one. (There's 1 in the front and 2 in 
the rear.)

It's probably reasonable to reuse all of yours and fill the front one with 
silicone caulk after everything's installed.

BTW, I can make replacments for that long line from the new CuNi alloy. 
That will never rust and if you send my your old parts I can reuse the nuts 
and grommets. The lines sold for Beetles are too short for Type 3s.
