will cable guide from fork work on bicycle frame? unknown Screw thread size difference?
plastic cable guide broke on bike. It is a sheet of plastic held together by screws on down-tube holding cable to frame. it still is holding but Local Bike Shop states they cant find/order OEM parts. rear derailleur; bike has no cable guides for zip-ties.
next step is duct tape over plastic pieces by fall.

the only thing i found online was "NSB-North Shore Bullit 40 cable guide for FOX forks" it has/fitted for a M3 x 10.
Do you think this will work?
my only concern is the price $20-30 each (need 3) bike is worth the price but only if it works.
________________
is the only difference is the screw head size. 3M (3mm vs 4mm)
is there a difference in the thread count, or is that standard on all bikes.
M3 x 8
-vs-
M3 x 10

Can't see the cable guides on your bike. Don't know what bike you have. Maybe those cable guides will work, maybe not, if you want better advice, show us what you have and what you want to use

Since all bikes are different it would help to know the brand and model.
Since you didn't mention which cable there is no way of knowing what the typical cable routing might be.
Add this information and it will be of great help.
