The templates are available.
I have asked Doug to post them on the VAF site but if you need them right now, just drop me a note with your email address and I will be happy to forward them to you.

IO-375 Baffles
This thread is a little old. Is this still the best solution for the baffles when using ECI tappered fin cylinders? I'm looking at an IO-375 as a possibility and I'm wondering how much additional work I'm signing myself up for.

Tapered fins
were a lot more time consuming to baffle, at least for me. I actually am experimenting with the baffle system using conic sections wrapped around the inner cylinder areas, instead of the simple plates. No idea if it will work well, as the engine has not run yet.
I suspect I spent several weeks implementing the inner cylinder baffle system alone.

I didn't think it was that much work and I started from scratch. Using the templates linked in an earlier message in this thread will make it pretty easy.

You should be fine.
It took making a good template out of drafting plastic, but other than an extra few hours it went well. We wanted the lighter jugs with the valve seats and guides of those cylinders on our IOX-360. The lower baffle has worked out well and we really like the extra air flow from the valves and some porting work we did. It is worth the little more time as far as I am concerned.
Hope this helps, Yours, R.E.A. III # 80888

Does anyone have any pics of the results of these PDF modifications? Since I'm not quite at the stage of installing the baffles it's hard for me to visualize the transformation from the flat template form.
