While it can be seen plain as day in the video, none of my references show
a 70mm OD, 37mm ID grommet for the smaller filler pipe provided by
Volkswagen.

251 201 139  70x57.5 (1980 Only)
251 201 139 A  50x37 (86-91, some 84-85s depending on tank/filler
installed) (Airhead/VWG makes this one)
251 201 139 B  70x50 (81-83, some 84-85s depending on tank/filler installed)
