Has anyone made their own baffles and has a pattern?
The newer updated baffle kit from Van's is ready to go and fits great right off the bat. I would save the trouble and just buy the kit. There is a lot of bending and cutting involved with a DIY approach.
I've got a new 0360 baffle kit from vans in box if interested.

Just a caution for anyone planning on making your own baffles, Van's website is not updated with the new baffle plans. I ordered "DOC RV-6/6A BAFFLE360" online last week and just got 21 8.5" x 11" copies of the apparently old baffle plans. I was a long way from happy with this since I had seen Bruce Hill's pics on this thread and his 11x17 plans (thanks Bruce, love your photos too!). What Van's sent was pretty shameful, believe me.
I called Van's and they pretty quickly admonished me for ordering the old plans. They became somewhat apologetic when they discovered the new ones, "DOC BAF 360" I believe, were not on the website. They went from offering to email me the plans (which I should've taken in addition to getting the proper ones mailed) to telling me they were mailing me the new ones. I'm hopeful again.
Here's where the ridiculous and disappointing became bizarre and Kafka-esque: they wanted the ones they'd sent returned (contrary to their own return policy about construction docs)?!
I've just enveloped up and put $2 worth of postage on 60 cents worth of copies to mail back to Van's.
Hopefully they won't try to sell them to you. Call to order the newer ones.
