You can get a universal one at a parts store for like $20 and put it wherever you want. They work well enough.

You can install a mechanical oil pressure gauge anywhere you like just by running a pressure line, plastic or copper, from the normal sensor location to the gauge. just put a coil of line in it somewhere to reduce the pulsations. Just remember you'll have hot oil in the cabin if the line breaks. We used to do this when cars had idiot lights. They used to make small panels with oil and temp gauges that bolt to the bottom of the dash.
