Does anyone make a hood mounted gauge pod?

I want to run two fuel pressure gauges direct and I'd rather not run them in the cab unless I absolutely have to. I also don't want them exposed to the elements, so does anyone make a hood mounted gauge pod for the 2nd gens.?

Back in the 70's when I used to race, I installed my fuel and oil pressure gauges on my cowl using Marine Gauge Pods, mine were made my NICSON (Nic & son) that has long since gone out of business, any good boat shop can get them

This is what I am talking about

Aluminum Gauge Pod 2 1/16" - Marine Industries West

Gauge Pods - Marine Industries West

Then I rolled an aluminum hood to cover the face of the gauge and shade it from the sun.

Of course I was using Brass Stewart Warner gauges.

Pontiac used to have the hood tach on GTO's and Firebirds. They weren't sealed very well and usually corroded and stopped working...

I like the marine source idea, there's a lot of stuff out there that may work, as well as the Marine sourced info from madhat.....pun intended.

Just use an isolator.
Fuel goes to the isolator, from there you just run antifreeze through the line to the gauge in the cab. That's how mine is done.
