Can I use a left over Wah foot switch for a true bypass looper?

Hi!
I'm going to mod my Wah to be true bypass and already ordered a 3pdt for the job. Now, I was wandering, It'll take ages for a 3pdt switch to arrive from china or whatever and I can't get a hold of one in my country. I want to build a true bypass looper, which, as you know, is very easy to make - like here: http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/PedalHacker/index.htm
IS there any way I can use this switch that is a left over from my Cry baby instead of a 3pdt? Here's how it looks like: http://starvingmusician.com/cart/bmz_cache/0/046eefabd87a5635b1666f4370dfb41e.image.195x200.jpg (one leg at one side - two legs at the other)
Appreciate the help!

The leftover switch isn't true bypass, so it wont be a true bypass looper

What am I really losing if I'll use this switch instead? Do you, by in chance, got a diagram of how to do it? Thanks!

No , you have a SPDT switch, for true bypass you need a DPDT switch, it won't work.
