One hose clamp around the gauge, one inside that clamp around the bar. adjust to suit, and tighten. Less than 5 bucks.



that is kinda what i was thinking.
i am afraid it will look tacky or hokey.




Well, for 40 bucks it will look better. I threw that out since you seemed to want to spend the money elsewhere.
If you have black padding or cage, you could paint the one clamp to make it blend in.
