As long as it has the two holes (three total), it should work.
The 14's mast is so light, the original way to step it didn't even have a hinge or a hook. You stood it up in the sand at the front crossbar, then lifted it vertically and set it in the step. As mast rake increased, this becomes more difficult, since you can't keep the mast vertical as you lift it - and it gets away from you.
Lacking a step link, I've stepped the 14's mast with just a small piece of line connecting the base and the step, or someone just holding the base while I step it.
