Default What are these called and can you buy them?

In removing my rear harness, almost all the connectors have these pieces on them for securing to the frame. But mine are all mangled, broken or otherwise unsightly. I can use rivet style zip ties to hold the connectors to the frame, but if I could find these little rivet clips, that would be much better. I've tried countless google search combinations and have yet to even find a picture of one by itself. One problem is I don't know what they are called. It's the small flat piece with the xmas tree rivet (circled in red). These actually are detachable from the connector so that you can remove the connector from the frame but leave these rivets secured in the frame. But since I removed all mine to paint the frame, most are destroyed.

Yeah, I've tried that, plus "fir tree clip", "connector clip", "Connector rivet", with and without Dodge or Mopar in the search. The closest I have found are these:

But not quite a match.

There are a lot of similar wire clips that tape to the wire and might work with that groove if you search that term. Try sending that picture to these guys www.clipsandfasteners.com
