Default Alternative Oil Pressure Location

Anyone know of an alternative location than the stock oil pressure switch location on a 12 Valve Cummins?

Trying to keep the stock sensor where it is at and just mount a mechanical gauge (as a secondary backup).

Is there an external oil line anywhere I can tap into?
