Jerry Pressley Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Have a one piece belly panel for sale for $950 but do not know what it fits. 32.5 wide and 79 long. Not for L or Porsche or later Long Bodies as those are more than one piece. Ends are square with cutout for nose wheel well. Good condition will add photos later jerry p 423 231 3491 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT20J Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Doesn't look like the factory belly on my M20J. Way too many holes along the perimeter and they don't look to be in line. Maybe the LASAR belly panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will.iam Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 My M20K one piece has way fewer holes like one hole every 6 inches or so not one every inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 That looks like my LASAR one piece. It should have a label imbedded in the fiberglass on the inside. It looks like the holes were doubled up. Mine has 1/2 the holes along the edges. It would take a lot of work to put that back in service.

Hank Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 The one-piece belly on my C looks quite similar, except it's fiberglass with 48 countersunk screw holes around it, and five smaller ones for the notch around the nose wheel. The front end is also not bent upwards around the notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 My M20K one piece has way fewer holes like one hole every 6 inches or so not one every inch. Ditto, and mine is fiberglass and holes have camlocs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Pressley Posted August 25 Author Report Share Posted August 25 If it was a replacement for the metal multi piece belly skins, would it have all those holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT20J Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I know of one M20C that has a one off STC for a fiberglass belly panel that the owner made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 As many have said, there appears to be two many holes. It does look like the factory one piece belly on my 1984 M20J. Mine uses cam locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT20J Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Looks a lot cruder than my factory belly on my M20J. Also, the holes for the cross supports don't seem to be in the same place as mine. And, what are all those large circles and little bumps on the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeOH Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I hate to be the one to say it, but do we know this rectangular sheet with a bunch of holes and a crease down the middle is even an aviation part??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, it is the same as my LASER on e piece. With too many holes. Same crease, same hole pattern, same fiberglass mold pattern. Somebody just made more holes than it came with.

N201MKTurbo Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 I think I see where the LASER label is. It gas paint over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 The only time this could be useful, is if somebody had a LASER one piece belly already installed with an STC and had a gear up that destroyed the belly beyond repair. This one could be reworked and put back into service. This scenario is a bit of a stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Pressley Posted August 26 Author Report Share Posted August 26 Thanks to Mooneyspacer Finally learned what it is. Replacement panel for F G J or K with metal belly. All those holes match the screws on the metal belly skins. A K in TN has the identical pattern and amount of screws. As you folks say it probably is Laser.

I will have mine off in a couple of weeks. I can send you a pic of the label then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
