Yup, there is a round cup that bolts to the bottom of that plate that holds the steering column in place. Oh, and you might want to buy the rubber seal that goes around that plate. It's a knee saver or a knee killer if you leave it that way.
Number 11 & 12

You are also missing a bolt and spring washer. There should be two holding the plate to the under-dash tray, and one holding the plate to the speedo pod. Also, if you are going for correct vintage, the plate should be black. All easy to fix. Check out Everett's photo for perfect!

You can access the original VW Dealer Parts Manuals here:
http://oacdp.org/
Well worth taking the time to read through the parts manuals. You can find parts you did not know you needed to complete your VW. With proper name and part number you can find parts for sale via WWW searches that you would otherwise never be able to acquire. For some reason part number searches of the WWW work better if you take out the three spaces in the original part number, and add VW with a space in front of the part number removes a lot of random results.
