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.
