Look what I broke
Ok it was bent so when I stripped the bike this was pinching the cable and broke off when I tried to bend it back. Is there a clamp on stop or guide or whatever this thing is called I can use instead?

Not really. The stop is broken off. But, there are quickie work-arounds to try while you look for a permanent solution. You just need something to stop the cable housing from pulling through so the derailleur can shift. One simple way would be to wrap electrical tape (or some other kind) about 1/8" thick around the cable housing just large enough so that it can't pull up through the hole. Or some kind of clip maybe. It's the stop that's missing, not the guide, so you just need a way to stop the cable housing. Maybe a twist of heavy gage wire around the housing at that point.

How about thread the wire through a small washer before you thread it through the guide? That should keep the housing from pulling through the guide. It's a bit of a bodge, but would probably work until you find a real solution.....

Great tips thanks. I'll turn something up on the lathe that I think will work
