Need help identifying parts for a M-20B

[robin]

I recently came across some parts for my deceased father's Mooney M-20B and I have no clue what they are. There is no identification on them that I can find. They are made of aluminum and are about 19.5" long and 8" across. I looked through his manual and couldn't find anything that looked like these things. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response. Seems odd he would've had a part for a J when his was a B.

Thank you so much for the picture! It makes sense now. His is a little different from the one you show, but it is clearly that part.

Welcome aboard, Robin.

You might find that some updates from newer Mooney planes can be mounted on the older versions.  According to FAA records they are all M20s.

There are some old Mooneys that fly nearly as quickly as some newer ones.  Aerodynamic modifications  were giant improvements in the 70s.  An engineer at the factory named Roy Lopresti  was their guru for aero projects.

for specific questions regarding parts and planes and their logs, you might get some additional help from the mechanic that used to supply maintenance for the bird.  Of course, you are always welcomed to ask here as well! 

There are many B model Mooneys still flying today, at full speed!

Best regards,

My -D model didn't come with the vertical fillet from the factory. I have an old picture of it before it got repainted, and the vertical fillet says "201" on it.
