Barking mad - its some time since I worked with 737s but as I recall there are no mechanical stops to limit rudder travel. The stops are in the control input side and receive no loads apart from crew input. I cannot recall any aircraft with travel limiting stops on any hydraulically powered control surface as the power in these systems would damage virtually any stop system.The stroke of the linear actuators would be the final stop in the case of an overtravel.
