I'm looking for a waterways skimmers basket with the number 05280-0401 on the bottom. The basket is 8 inches across the top 4 15/16 height and 5 15/16 across the bottom. The top has a handle in the middle and while its rounded it has two opposing flat sides about 2 1/5 inches long that hold it in the skimmer

I found a part number 05280-0402 on the handle of the basket, that's about all I have found anywhere. I can't find a basket at any of the local stores will this one work in its place?
