Need G5 Mount for Above Glare Screen?

In order to fit a Garmin G5 into my panel, it looks like I will need to mount it to the top of the glare screen as a stand alone instrument. Does anyone know of a single instrument mounting housing available to hold the G5 and protect it for this purpose? The G5 fits into a standard round gauge mounting hole, so it seems that someone must make a housing that would work?

From photos, I think that Rob Hickman did this with a Dynon D-10 on his RV-10. This might also be something that could be made with a 3-D printer, but I don't have one nor do I have the experience to design one and have it printed for me.

Any suggested sources will be appreciated.
Thanks
 
Make your models in cardboard, when you are happy use thin AL sheet. Check PM

If you are in Texas I'm thinking you will need a white or light colored cloth on the top side to prevent the sun from overheating the G5, both parked and in the air.

I am working on exactly the same project if you can wait a couple of days.
