Default What gauge faces are these?

So I have been looking around for another miata and seem to have found one in great shape, and upon further inspection i saw the gauge faces and i have no clue what kind they are. Maybe a older jass performance gauge face idk maybe one of you OG members know.

Most likely Revlimiter custom gauges: revlimiter.net Store - 89-97 Miata/MX-5/Eunos Gauges

At first I was going to disagree because typically Revlimiters stuff is setup to use the stock sweep range of the gauges. That one looks short, but I guess they are just concerned about a smaller area of the range. You could email Revlimiter and he could probably recreate them.

I think those are stock sweep - it's just deceptive because the ranges are smaller.

The design doesn't look quite 'resolved' enough for what I think Revlimiter would do, and I can't see any image on his site documenting that he made these even as a one off.

Not that they aren't interesting and cool though... they could be a one off by an enthusiastic individual. When Revlimiter first started making gauge faces he documented the whole process and provided templates for people to have a go.

Seems kind of dumb to limit full-sweep gauges to 180 degrees though, it reduces the resolution a LOT.
This is important for the speedo here in Australia, you want as much resolution as possible to avoid speeding fines in school zones, more than 2 km/h over the the limit and you've got yourself a hefty fine and loss of driving points.

Look closely - there's no loss in resolution. You just nip the last 2000rpm and 30mph off the tach/speedo and reset the needles.

Yeah it is kinda weird that the full range of the sweep isnt on them, and the one off is a possibility but i know nothing of revlimiters gauges. pretty interesting find though i just wish i had the money for the car its in great shape if anything id buy it just for the gauges, hardtop and power windows
