This is the solution I found for monitoring controller temperature:

White Universal Car Motor 20LED Analog 52mm Digital Water Temp Temperature Gauge | eBay

There are lots of automotive temperature gauges on Ebay, I picked this one because it works all the way down to 20 degC most of them only go down to 40.

To install I intend to drill a hole in the controller base plate near the IGBTs to fit the sensor tip.
