The hatch hinge would be a junk yard item or you could try the DDB at http://www.theddb.com/ they are located in Portland, and Martin is a great guy to deal with.
The clutch tube might be in your car as some 69 type3 auto's had it too. I'm not much of one for using the hydraulic set up in case it breaks down. I mean, where do you get the parts to fix it? With the cable set up, most any VW shop would have one in stock. All that is really required is a piece of tubing for the cable to ride in. I know somewhere on these forums is a length and diameter for one, but right off hand I couldn't tell you where. I think Bryan over in the SE forum has done this before on his brothers type3. His name on the forums is SingleSquared. He from Charlotte NC, and you can also get in touch with him thru www.mvwe.org I hope this helps.
