I'm looking for new one of these anchors or something that will work the same.

These are attached to the interior wire harness and attach to studs in the tub. All of my Google searches come up empty. Hopefully someone here has replaced them before.

I've never been able to find those. I use Panduit Cable Tie Mounts instead:

They mount to the same hole as the one you're trying to replace, but then you use a cable tie to secure the harness to the mounts. I actually prefer these because you just snip the cable tie and remove the harness, and when you replace the harness, you just use a new cable tie to re-secure it. I keep several different sizes on hand and get them from Mouser:

644-PUM-925-M30
644-PUM-100-M30
644-PUM-071-M30
644-PUM-049-M30

They also make a barbed type, which should be slightly easier to remove and reuse, but I've never tried them because they don't need to be removed in order to remove the harness:

The problem is that the factory ones attached to studs not holes.

Worse case I can cut the studs and drill holes
 
They make zip-ties with a hole in them just for mounting to a post... Amazon, Home Depot, local auto parts store should have them on the shelf.

Ah, yes - I forgot about that kind. The first time I saw one was recently on my LJ. It's amazing to me that Jeep bean counters would allow the engineers to use such an expensive solution...

I found this (definitely not an exact match, but should be a direct replacement), but have no idea where to purchase them - you'll need to call and find out:

That was very helpful. I now know the are tape on clips. It's always better to get the correct terms to search by.

After look at their PDF I finally came across these

I'm going to order them and hopefully it solves this problem
