OK, I see what you did, the inside flange on the horizontal shaft is much smaller than the flange that the handwheel would normally bare against as the clutch is tightened, but it will work. a 15-88 isn't too hard to come by, I have 2. Probably more uncommon is the Singer 201k-3 centennial that I got in 2012 for $25.
