https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V8634MW/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A34XVXTBCHMT4Z&psc=1 will this work with my control head without having to purchase the head holder that comes in the ysk seperation kit?

Yeah that might do the trick, as long as the texture of your dash will like the suction cup. Some of the dashes with the rippled surface don't work well with Velcro or double sided tape. That looks like it might even work in my shack.

so with that holder will the control head fit it if i mount it on the windshield? or do i need the control head bracket?Amazon.com

With a few nuts bolts & Washers it would probably work either way if you dink with it, but Windshield mounting is iffy depending on how they look at windshield obstructions when you drive. Here, they have no problem ticketing us for that.

Your manual for the 7900 might mention the sizes to use. I have no idea, i would just go fishing thru my parts trays until I found the right sizes. I fabricate crap to make other crap work lol.

This is the proper bracket for mounting the FT-7900 control head. The control head snaps right into it. All you need to do is find a way to mount it in your vehicle. I recommend a bracket from ProClip USA. The ProClip bracket grabs the edges of the paneling on the dash so there is no drilling of holes.

Double sided tape/velcro is a bad idea.
Heat will weaken the adhesive.
If you do use it, make 100% sure you properly clean/prep the surface. Use denatured alcohol to clean the surface first, let it dry completely.

It is a bad idea because my dashboard is got the I don't know what it is but the Velcro just won't stay attached to this car's dashboard no matter what I do like you use the heat of sticky part in the bottom of it and it just won't stick so that's why I have no choice but to buy that window mouth that I listed Whole Foods stick to the window the suction cop and it doesn't fall off then have this problem with my previous car the Velcro idea would work without winning the car before that but I guess this dashboard is just not Velcro or adhesive friendly so window mounting is the only way to go The other issue is I have a radar detector and I don't know what I'm gonna do with that except try to find a holder for that too and put that on the window

That's the challenge of trying to do a 'no holes' install. It's always going to be a compromise.
At around 19, I tried to double sided tape a small mobile scanner under the CB in my truck. Lasted a few days, then it fell on the floorboards. Learned that some rudimentary fabrication skills and some aluminum stock would let me make my own brackets for just about any application.

I bought the Lido suction cup mount from that place that sounds like a river in Brazil. I'm very satisfied with it. I did put a semi-permanent disk on the dash to give it something smooth to stick to.

nothing will stick to my dashboard so i bought the windshield mount for the control head and radar detector but its been so cold outside i just hope both will stay firmly on the windshield.
