Depends on the bore of your spindle. There was a small bore 13, which cannot take the 5C directly. You could still use a collet chuck this them.

had a minute to take a quick rough measurement of my spindle 1.625 at the thread side and 1.400 at the gear side...

I have been meaning to get you these pictures. I finally had a chance tonight to pull this off my 16 and snap a few pics. This is the handlever collet attachment along with the collet sleeve and the knock out nut (thread protector).

The lever lets you open and close the collet. It is pretty simple but a bit touchy to adjust so it works smoothly. Honestly, I think I might prefer a handwheel to draw in the collet. Just seems simpler to me.
I hope this helps.
