what does the C-Hook do?

any good machine shop should be able to replicate a new hook from the
dimensions of the old one

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?
