There are 2 types of VW Beetle dampners. One is for the early type 1 and the other is for Type 1 Super Beetles with Mcpherson struts. The only difference is the mounting ends. Both will work.
They can be found at any import parts store, VW parts houses, EBAY
Amazon or on-line VW speciality shops.
Some are Brazilian, some from Mexico, some German. They are all the same performance.
You won't feel anything in the steering except better road feel and
Less wandering.
I'll try to post pics soon...
