HA! Good answer! My A&P might get a little excited...

Much as it pains me my 1964 Mooney M20e was subjected to a gear up landing. Remarkably little damage (aside from the engine and prop thing) most of which looks like simple replacement of belly panels... perhaps the Lasar skid plate would be good for that? My biggest concern is that, although the wings and flaps were untouched (a beautiful, straight, middle of runway landing... aside from the gear being up) the port side, inboard flap hinge was ground down (see pictures below.) Although I have a complete parts manual on the airplane, I'm not exactly sure what the shape of that entire piece is or how it is attached to the airframe. Any suggestions, related war stories or helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks! Before: After: The hinge:
