The fuel tank of the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3 and Thing is fastened to the body with plates. Volkswagen used two different types of locking clips over time. The most common is the square "frog-foot model", and semicircular plates were also used. Unfortunately it is very difficult to find out which model was used when, partly because the original part numbers were used interchangeably. The stated years and VW models were created by searching the original VW parts books, based on the image and not on the VW number. It is therefore possible that the stated year and VW model for a particular locking plate does not match what is fitted. In that case choose the correct model, even if the year and/or VW model does not match the description. Both plates have exactly the same function and can be used together.

Seal between tank and body
When the fuel tank is removed, the seal between tank and body is damaged. This seal not only ensures that moisture is kept out, but was also used at the time to prevent squeaking and cracking, with keeping out moisture being an added benefit. Be sensible and order the seal with the clips; reuse is impossible.
