Default replacement options for thermostat needle?

Hello,
I recently messed up my thermostat needle (it no longer moves) while replacing a burnt out gauge cluster bulb on my 96 es. I suspect having the gauge cluster fixed or replaced would be pretty costly so I am looking for other options on how to replace just the thermostat gauge.
I’m thinking along the lines of getting an aftermarket one (autometer, greddy) except I cant think of a practical place for it that also looks good. I do not want to mount it on the pillar.
Something digital and the size of a turbo timer would be ideal to mount between the steering wheel and gauge cluster but I havent found one yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've been searching for answers but havent found anything relevant to what I am looking for.
99% of the thermostat needle questions relate to sensors, overheating and lights.

I am just looking for options for a replacement and creative ideas on where to mount it.
