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.
What bit is used to remove the existing mount? I can’t seem to figure it out.AR | SLAP / BPM Structurally Located Accessory Point / Bulletproof Mount

I believe it's a T-20 TORX drive. There may be some inconsistency in what Ford jams in there, though.
Yeah it just doesn’t grab but that seems to be what they are, I’ll mess with it again tonight. Got my bronco 2 days ago and have been looking forward to throwing my SLAP in there.
I can't remember the exact size but you have to go in at a bit of an angle IIRC, leaning the ratchet towards the windshield. Once you figure it out it's pretty easy.
