hook in mast heel casting missing

Hi;
Just got a Chrysler dagger 14! Boat is in surprisingly good shape. One key piece missing – the hook in the mast heel casting, as per the owner’s manual, is missing.
“slot in the mast heel casting almost engaged with the hook on the deck plate”
There is a threaded hole in the center of the deck plate, and the previous owner has a wing screw with a Teflon washer that he had used to step the mast onto.
Question – was the original hook welded to the deck plate? Is there something I could use instead of the original hook?
Really excited to get the boat in the water this weekend!
Thanks!
