Yep, that "hook" is the downward travel limiter. If you shim the sides of the pegs with wave washers (or even plain washers) you can eliminate most if not all of the play. AND keep the pegs almost where they belong. Take the pegs (new and old) to any welding shop. Show them the difference and get a quote to have a tab added to the bottom of your new pegs. Not going to cost very much, I'd do it for a 6 pack...
