Hi Randy
you will not get the new hook to fit as it not only has a bearing on the
inside of the hook, it also has a bearing that runs around the outside of
the hook and ensures the hook is captive.
Given that this is the elevator drive, I would not be bodging it up, the
new hook will not fit and modifying the tailplane to accept the new hook is
a lot of work and probably not feasible anyway.
I would be talking to the Schemmp Hirth agent in your area and getting the
correct part for the job.
It is possible to bend the hook when rigging the tailplane due to incorrect
rigging technique and forcing the tailplane on to the fitting.

I purchased a Standard Cirrus with a bent C-Hook. This was bent when
the previous owner was putting the fuselage in the trailer. I ordered
a
new C-Hook from M&H Soaring and they sent me the new gray C-Hook
and as you can see, it is a different size.
Should I try to find another small one like the original or find a way
to install
the new one?

Any suggestions?
