AR | SLAP / BPM - This is the bulletproof mount

[EIGHTLUG]

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…

I looked at doing that, initially, but the three threaded holes on the BAM’s center section are too close together. I absolutely can make the holes on the SLAP line up, but then it wouldn’t work well to mount B.A.L.L.S. They would be too close. So, in short, to pull off what you’re talking about, cleanly, would require a revision to the BAM, which is not out of the question.

You will probably just have to take out the two screws that hold down the current mounting point, not a big deal.

My factory "Acessory Ready" mounting point is only secured with one screw…?

Looks like a good replacement.

But does it S L A P P ?

So is it either or BAM or SLAP?

But not both together?

Absolutely not! The BAM and the TAP can mount to the SLAP. What we were discussing was having all three of the mount holes of the BAM mounting into the SLAP. They are too close together to make it work cleanly.

If you have a BAM, mounting it to the SLAP would make the mount a lot more robust.

Same goes for the TAP.

If you don't have a BAM or TAP, you you can run just the SLAP and mount up to three accessories, cleanly.

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.

I think your looking at the actual mounting hole. From outside the vehicle look through your windshield at the mounting point and you should be able to see the two screws. Or reach behind and feel with your hand.

Send it, sire.

My OEM one broke and I just got a replacement (not under warranty). Dealer had no idea what part to order so they ordered the center speaker cover and lo and behold, the whole assembly came together.
So, I now have an extra center speaker cover.

Is there an update on this? I know it’s only been a couple weeks but in the first post you said printing was to happen the next day. I’m genuinely considering this

I'm getting the files together today to get the AR | SLAP BPM into production. I'll follow up with lead time and the website listing. This is a 'simple finish' part. No post machine required. Machine>Finish>Inspect>Ship. Easy peasy.
