Where to buy reuseable radio connectors?

OK, so my kenwood was hooked up with these and the factory plug is gone. I don't want to cut the factory wires shoter for new crimp connectors. I have been searching for these reusable or rather reconnectable wire connectors but can't find it anywhere. I think Crutchfield may have sold them a while back but I don't see it on their website. I don't know what they're called, so I haven't called them to ask if I can special order them.

Also, does the metal brace behind the stereo have to be cut out or can it be unscrewed?

Thats a pretty bad picture but if you are talking about bullet connectors they are pretty common. Radio shack or any automotive store should carry them.

Oh and on my FD I had to break the welds on that metal bar but note that the factory ground for the radio is bolted to that bar.

The radio shack lady said they didn't sell car radio connection stuff. One snaps in to the other one. I can try to take another pic with my camera tomorrow. I took that one with my cell phone.

So the factory molex connectors were cut off. They crimped on those female bullet things. On the Kenword wire harness the crimped on the male bullet things. Each wire from Kenwood harness just snaps in to the factory harness individually and then the molex conector for the Kenwood harness plugs to the back of the radio.

I would like to get those same connectors to do the same for the JVC radio wire harness.

Nah,
I think it just there to support the back of the stock stereo and ground source.
