Missing CB-710D from IO-360 Baffle Kit

I'm deep into working on my baffle installation. Yesterday I was working on the cylinder 1 and 2 baffle ramp assemblies only to discover I was missing the CB-710D from my kit. At first I thought I had simply misplaced it (that never happens), but eventually I realized that it was missing from my baffle kit since I have 2 CB-701D parts instead of the required one. So I think this was just a mistake on the packing of the kit. I ordered this kit a while ago and never inventoried it so that's on me. However, after I got to the Vans site it appears they are out of stock of the part. I'll call them tomorrow and check if the online stock status is accurate, but pending that it looks like it would be an easy part to fabricate if I had some information about thickness of the material, hole locations and etc. Anyone have one of these sitting around that they could share some of these details?
 
For those who don’t speak Vans Part Numbers as a native language, can you describe what a CB-710D actually is, or a picture of it in the plans? 😉
 
I can probably assume this support bracket is the same thickness as the one on the left side. The critical dimension for me is the distance from the base of the bracket to the center of 1/4" screw mounting hole. I'm not sure exactly about the alignment of the inboard edge of the right baffle ramp assembly without the bracket. The remainder of the base holes I can just match drill from the baffle ramp. Not an idea arrangement, but possible.

Well it turns out Vans had the part in stock even though it showed out of stock online. They seemed to think this is happening more often for some reason.
