This is the proper mount for the Yaesu FT-7900 control head. It can be mounted directly to a dash or other structure. I have had one mounted to a faux wood-grain dash with 3M double sided mounting tape, mounted to the top of a dash with a stick-on mount and currently attached to the dash of my truck with a bracket from ProClip USA.
