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

Bronco6G.com forum Members, use the code B6GSLAPME20 for 20% off your purchase!!!

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 please Curtis. The long awaited SLAP. You got tired of my e-mails asking about it didn't you? ;)

Am I reading this right that we have to take apart the dash where the BYOD mount is to install this?🤨

Pretty sure you don't have to take apart the dash, but @EIGHTLUG can correct me if i am misspeaking. You will probably just have to take out the two screws that hold down the current mounting point, not a big deal.

No. Just remove the two screws that secure the plastic ‘ACCESSORY READY’ panel. Use a plastic trim removal tool, or credit card, or a flat tip screw driver if you’re careful and pop it off. You’ll install this billet piece in its place and you’re off to the races.

So this works with the TAP? Can you send a pick with both so I can see how they work together. Thank you

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.
