Mount for 45 x 22 mm ACT gauge

I have an ACT gauge but need a mount for it to be mounted in my car dashboard landscape rather than just slot it into ta switch hole (it would be the wrong way up) - wanting to do this as the back of the gauge looks a little industrial and wanting to keep it smart
Does such a thing exist - or will I need to fabricate (or get someone else to fabricate) one?
FYI gauge dimensions:
Cut out required is 45mm x 22mm. Bezel size is 48mm x 24mm
Thanks

Sounds like a question for Mocom

Just put the black one to a bolt on the dash somewhere and the red just needs putting into a switched live such as a wire from the ignition.
Have a fumble round with a multimeter.

Have you got a picture of the gauge so we can get an idea of what could be made for it?

do you have a digital clock in the car, that looks about the same size and could be a stright swap?
sorry to sound silly but what does that display?

Can you not cut a rectangular hole in the dash and make a mount behind for it to fit in?
