In a sliding contact guide for a drive chain or other flexible transmission device, a guide body includes a shoe 102 and a slotted, plate-receiving portion 102 integrally molded on the back of the shoe. A reinforcing plate is inserted into the slot. The guide body has a mounting hole near one end for receiving a mounting shaft. The reinforcing plate, on the other hand, has an arcuate bearing portion which extends only part way around the mounting shaft. This structure improves assembly efficiency, reduces the weight of the guide, and reduces waste of material when multiple reinforcing plates are produced by punching a sheet of material.
