Genuinely confused by this as I've never seen one that requires more than a single hole under the bb shell. Where do they require an extra hole? The one that Vince shows has 2 holes, but isn't that just to give some flexibility with mounting position?
You're absolutely correct.
However in my case a new hole would be required because the existing hole is too large for the new cable guide screw.

Out of interest, how does a push-on one attach if not through a hole in the BB shell? The one pictured in the OP looks like it has a stud that locates in a hole to fix it on.
There's a hole in the bottom bracket for my existing cable guide to push into. The latest guides require an additional hole to be drilled in the frame to mount them. I'd prefer not to do this and keep it original if at all possible.

Does it have to be metal, or will plastic do?
It's plastic, so that's fine.
ebay has, oh, only tens of offers for "bottom bracket cable guide"
I've been looking on eBay for months, they're always bolt or screw on guides. I don't want to drill a hole in the frame so I need the push on version.
just ask at your LBS, theres tons of those things hanging around when folk go in to get road frames converted...
I've tried all of my local stores, they don't have them (new or used).
