I'm struggling back to my youth when I was an electrical engineer to think about this one. I'm guessing there is no problem with a sensor and mount for the oil temp as this is there as standard.
The guage would seem to be easy as they already exist, youd just be using the mechanism (eg strip off the case/shell) and then you could have a dial made to the correct shape for the MPG (I am assuming you meant MPG) console in the clocks.
Only real issue would be fitting the stripped down guage mechanism behind the dial but its really a very simple thing so its probably not that big a deal.
Just doing the guage dial would be very easy but as the MPG dial is very wide but narrow you wouldnt be able to fit a long needle and that would restrict how much left to right travel you had, leaving wasted space at either side of the guage..unless of course you wanted to fit something else in there!
What you could do, to make good use of the space, is fit a oil temp guage in one half and a water temp (ordiff or whatever) in the right half.
Hmm you've got me thinking now!
