A notional drawing. It could be stamped or cut brass, or even light steel if possible. I imagine stamping may not truly be an option...not sure...given it's small size. The process may damage the edges and mar the gauge precision. Not being a machinist, it's easy to conceive of this. Might be harder to actually realize and construct it.
Anyway, there is a little "gripper" soldered on top. The stamping would look like the bottom figure, but once stamped, bend the tabs in opposing directions and solder to the top of the triangular-shaped gauge.
Better if there are nice Trifecta gauges, but this is cheap and easy once the milling process is ironed out (and I realize that may not be easy or possible, but just sayin'). If there aren't Trifecta's, a few of these would really be helpful, I'd think.
