My 91 miata shift indicator was shot. The board was unreadable and I had options.
Option one was a new replacement @ $84.00. Nice they are still available. http://parts.arlingtonmazda.com/categories/Miata-%7B47%7D-MX%252d5/1990%252d1997/Interior/?sort=featured&page=4
Option two. My favorite $2.00 entry pull your part auto wreckers. Search and find Nissan Sentra(other Nissans too). Automatic shifter cover $10.00 item has the indicator board I used. I found two sizes both Nissan. I found the longer one best. Don't ask me what years or other models
picture being worth a thousand words here it is. Maybe

I broke out the Miata plastic so the little indicator light could show best. Cut the Nissan indiacator board to fit and glued it in.
Yes the indicator lines up with the shifter in all positions.

None of your links work but it looks you found a very clever way of fixing it while saving some money.
