brittle plastic plug ends in engine compartment - replaceable?

Just finished with the ICV hoses and AFM boot replacement along with all new injectors, insulators, o-rings, & seals on M103. I'm trying to pass emissions testing, and the old parts had 170k on them. I have not found peace of mind though, as it seems it doesn't make but maybe a slight difference in smoothness at idle(it was already smooth as glass). Even though the old rubber bits are no longer what I would call pliable, they weren't cracked and seemed to be doing the job. Who knows. Car runs pretty good anyway.

The air boot underneath the AFM was unbelieveably difficult to seat. I could not have done it without a set of hose picks. One tip - install the band clamp after you get the boot seated successfully. It will only be in the way otherwise.

However the plastic plug ends on all the plugs under the air cleaner - ICV, EHA, AFM potentiometer, coolant temp on the head, and the single conductor one at the rear of the head; ALL of them broke their little snap tabs. And I was gentle, believe me. The plug at the EHA snapped its tabs as I was reinstalling the plug. They still plug in OK and I'm sure it doesn't matter all that much, but jeez.

Are these replaceable? I didn't see any part numbers on them, but then again I wasn't looking for them either. It would be nice to renew them if possible.
