I believe the early Rabbit and late 70's Jetta were manual brakes, with a wider m/c mount pattern of 3.5" or so, in stead of the 2.5"pattern on newer models.

Those models would mount directly to the firewall, in place of the bracket that holds the booster on my Golf, I believe. However, I've never seen one first hand, so that is just speculation.
