Likely I misunderstand or miscommunicated but... I recall there was nothing made of metal, in pin position 1 of my OEM 14 connector on my '81. (originally air cooled). i.e. no stub. My point to the OP was that it's likely his spare cluster has copper traces at all 14 positions on foil where white female connector goes. In other words, was suggesting he not be fooled, (or foiled) into assuming that if this was the case, that his spare cluster used, say, foil position 1. But my terminology isn't always correct so may not understand what you mean by "stub" "stub" = a copper trace end on the instrument cluster foil where white 14 pin connector goes? Neil.
