I don't use Quattros, and have never seen them with the standard strap
off, so I don't know what the peg looks like.

The SS spring attached to a hole in the peg strikes me as the best
answer.

Assuming there's no risk of the bungie slipping off the peg, what
you've done should work fine.  Using something like a fisherman's hitch
(followed by binding the loose end with whipping line (marline) to
attach the bungie to the pegs might be less bulky than the square
knots.
