Since I now have electric fans which could blow a fuse, I decided to seek out an alarm system that would set off a buzzer if the car overheated.
I found a company in Australia that makes exactly what I was looking for.

After testing several locations for the temperature sensor, I found that the front passenger side of the engine most closely matched my water temp. The display fit perfectly in the ash tray so that it's out of site, yet clearly audible if an overheat condition happens. I set the alarm to go off at 200, so I'll have plenty of time to pull over and save my engine.
I had a technical problem because by an installation mishap, and they were quick to fix the problem (that's rare to find these days).
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
