Do you have the TAP currently? If so then you have it mounted in the accessory mount spot built in to your dash. The SLAP is just a more elegant, stronger constructed mount that replaces the cheap plastic mount that you currently have your TAP screwed in to.

Yes I have the TAP now. Never noticed the cheapness of the plastic mount but I have not really put the TAP to work yet with items mounted to it. So the mount can crack and fail?

What people have experienced with that attachment point is that the anchor or threaded fastener inside the plastic mount vibrates itself loose. Some people have opened up that mount and put thread lock on the fastener and maybe that has helped, but when Curtis came up with the thought of a more robust attachment point, forum members (myself included) seemed to be interested. Everything Curtis creates is a work of art (as you probably well know)and has such a uniqueness that most of us are very supportive of anything he comes up with. Besides, I just love funding his kids 529 plans.

AR | SLAP / BPM Structurally Located Accessory Point / Bulletproof Mount

It's stealthy, low profile, and probably the way the OEM 'ACCESSORY READY' mount point should have been designed from the get-go.
​

We took the OEM plastic 'ACCESSORY READY' panel with its single (flimsy) 1/4-20 threaded location and deconstructed it. What you have now is a plastic dash trim piece with a threaded metal sleeve and nut inserted. The threaded feature has been known to come apart. From what we've seen from feedback from our customers, one to three mm of tolerance is common, when mounting their BAM.

What we did was turn the plastic part and design a 6061 billet piece that uses M6 threaded hardware to mount to the steel dash structure, making a very rigid and 'bomb proof' mounting location. We took it a couple steps further by adding two more 1/4-20 threaded locations that flank the original center location, making the single piece so much more versatile. Add in our proprietary keyway to accept our B.A.L.L.S. and you have a formula of:

1/4-20 316 stainless bolt + 6061 billet ball (20mm or 1") + 6061 billet bracket + M6 316 stainless bolt -into the steel dash structure.
It literally doesn't get any beefier than this.
​

The AR | SLAP / BPM accepts out AR | BAM & TAP and is brand agnostic to other manufacturers. It will allow their rail/mount something substantial to mount to. I'm 3D printing the prototype tomorrow. The final product will be cerakoted to match the surrounding dash plastics and give the AR | SLAP / BPM an OEM look. The ARCHETYPE RACING script will be machined into the part and have a similar appearance to the OEM 'ACCESSORY READY' script which is very subdued.

Send it Curtis! Let me know when you are visiting your family and I will treat you at the Tap House in Manhattan.

Send it! Or I'd be happy to come by and pick it up when it's ready. Add another AR item to the wish list! Thank you!

So here’s my question @EIGHTLUG…with the bam rail, do the two additional mounting locations line up where the BAM pieces meet? So technically we could get a couple longer screws at those points and beef up our BAM rails? Spots are pointed out in attached photo…

Prototype is installed and looking great. I still want to make a couple tweaks before I crank out the billet parts.

That looks gooooood.
