ARCHETYPE RACING | BAM-BYODR (Billet Aluminum Modular Bring Your Own Device Rail)

Definitely appreciate the input. I feel we use logos and branding where its appropriate and I’m a sucker for subtle branding. Take these diffuser brackets, wing uprights, and splitter supports for example.

Completely agree with you

Put me down for a rail! A billet unit is the best idea for sure!

Dialing in the final design for the rail. Here’s your exclusive sneak peek! Front and rear views. Final rail color(s) are TBD, but I’d say we’re 87% there on this one. We’ve got some details to iron out with the left and right mounts, and hardware, then some laser annealed notes to incorporate. Then we’re on to prototyping and production. Let me know what you think.

The rail system is designed to work with aftermarket GoPro mounts, radio mounts, personal device mounts, [hopefully] anything you can physically fit on the rail. If there are specific use cases for a device and there’s enough ‘want’ for it, I’ll R&D it for the community.

I'd like to see mounts for cb/gmrs and the toll transponders like was mentioned. Can't wait to get my hands on this rail. Looks great

I dont know if it makes sense or not but looking at the phantom ware of other mounts in the pre-production units it looked like the "wing" ends of the bar had rubber stoppers on them that contacted the dash. I would imagine these would assist in keeping an end from flopping around or at least act as a shock absorber to minimize. Maybe some kind of adjustable screw end...thinking old msd box rubber feet isolators that you can adjust for preload in your situation.

Any way to have a version that is not picatinny rail, but just smooth dovetail like? Same profile so all the same mounts would work, just not all the notches.
All the notches of the picatinny rail look 'busy'.

Need a holder for my Whataburger spicy ketchup.

Where can you take my money!!!

I will need dimensions of your Whataburger spicy ketchup container.
Come to think about it, I may just design an adjustable size AR | FART (Fits All Random Things) container.

I'm right there with this guy. I will buy this instantly.

The Picatinny rail is standard. There will be smooth pieces you can add to make it smooth. I’m picking up what you’re putting down. I too like the smooth clean look.

Honestly, it’s just easier (less expensive) to machine in Picatinny and later produce the add on parts/mounts and smooth coverage pieces.

So is it M-Lok and PIcatinny? Are there "feet" at each end that rest against the dash?

Like Ford's original M-Lok design?

Please have perimeter feet for added stability.

It kinda has to since there's only one mounting point. Presumably @EIGHTLUG is still working on that part of the design?
