Gauge Pod for A-Pillar ??

We're wanting to mount a oil temperature gauge on the A-pillar. Does anyone make a gauge pod for this application ?? We've searched the forums without any luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks !!

Thanks !! Guess we just weren't searching in the right place !! <GG>
We're new to this car, but not to high performance cars in general. I was very surprised to read that the factory gauges are just idiot lights !! It looks like we'll be buying a gauge pod that will hold several gauges. Unless someone has figured out how to make the stock gauges work correctly. My hubby says that he doubts that this can happen. He's a hardware design engineer, along w/ building drag cars. So he understands how the electronics work,better than some.But the stock gauges are so nice, it's sucks they were designed to fool us into thinking we were really protected.Thanks for your help !!

Instead of using a gauge pod, I just placed my gauge onto the existing A-pillar. Thread here.
It's the Defi BF gauge series which matches the stock gauges perfectly.
