Yamaha valve guides only come in plastic. I suppose you could have someone like Lee Stofer or Matt Walters install metals ones that are custom to your valves. If you want a replacement set of plastic ones all you have to do is contact a Yamaha retailer and ask them to order them for you. A friend of mine went through a couple sets of plastic guides when I was in college.One of them "went" during a rehearsal and he left rehearsal early and drove to the local music shop to see if they had a set in stock. You should be able to contact any Yamaha retailer or repair shop and have them order a set. I believe they aren't very expensive.
Good luck!
