Default Booster gauge angle

Help with idea. My turbo boost gauge faces my knee and impossible to read while driving. Does anyone know of aftermarket bezels that can be adapted to alter view angle?

You could swap out your clock...

Do you know someone with a 3D printer? Perhaps something like this would work for you (not my creation):

How about Lowes/HomeDepot- sch40 PVC 2" and some black paint?

FWIW - I got rid of the clock....

Fits perfectly- I use it all the time for fiberglass molds for gauges-
