Yes the irons do matter! If they are not for the correct cabinet then the offset will be different for the belt alignment. But if your doing what I did and just mount the treadle under a huge table that you can interchange the machines out then it will not matter.

Thanks Billy for jumping in here. I need expert opinions here. So, if I can't find a Singer cabinet with irons I like, then my plan was to get any irons and put a flat wooden top on it, cut out a big hole, put a 1"-2" frame on top around the hole with the edge routed to hold the model 66, including cutouts for the hinges, etc. Then cut out a space for the treadle belt to pass through. Would that work?
