What part exactly are you talking about, is it the rubber case protector?

Assuming you are referring to the two rectangular blocks with 2 counterbored holes in each, then Nylon 66 would be my first choice for those.  It has many other names such as Ertalon - try google.
We used it in the Aircraft industry for wear strips on various mech test projects, where we tried to break airframes by repeated loading/unloading.  It has great wear, chemical and impact resistance and a melting point in excess of 250 deg C.

There are lots of places on fleabay selling off cuts in various thicknesses, most with 'free delivery'

There is one here: https://www.mgparts.nl/product/honda-cb400f-kettinggeleider-23132-333-010-guide-primary/
If you need two then maybe buy this one and use as a pattern to follow orcadian's suggestion.

If you only need the one then I would have thought an email to the place in Holland to see what they would charge for carriage would be worth a shot, they only quote 7.50 Euros for the part.
