I know you're excited! The SLAP / BPM is already in production. I'll get it loaded on the site and open the pre-order a couple weeks before they arrive from anodizing.Just saw this pop up, read about it, and thought it looked great. Was about to "send it". Then saw I already asked to "send it" two weeks ago.
As @AceGoliath mentioned, the SLAP / BPM is listed on the AR web site, but is there a discount code for B6G members? I typed the magic words on page 2 of this thread, so just waiting on a PM with the code.
Send itAR | SLAP / BPM Structurally Located Accessory Point / Bulletproof Mount
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.
It's stealthy, low profile, and probably the way the OEM 'ACCESSORY READY' mount point should have been designed from the get-go.
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.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.
It literally doesn't get any beefier than this.

Ordered @EIGHTLUG , gracias. Of course I screwed up entering the discount code, but emailed the crew already. One would think after all the items I have purchased from you I would have figured it out by now. Have a great 4th Curtis.
Awesome! There’s a special code that we can provide for you, to check out with multiple items.
I’d have to say, you guys are on it! I didn’t broadcast that it was on the site yet, because I wanted to work on the renderings a little more. For those that said SEND IT, I’ll get the code PM’d to you, since you may not be watching this thread. Thank you, once again, for the awesome support!
