I did the same thing on my '90.  I was told the dealer only sells the entire

dashboard wiring harness for a couple hundred dollars.  I went to a local

junkyard to buy a trim piece I needed to replace, and while there I asked

them to check the back of stock Miata radios.  They had one with the harness

dangling from it (cut out of the car).  They threw in the harness with the

other piece - no charge!  It was simple to reconnect it to the cut wires in

the dash.
