We think a M3.5-.07 is the right screw, but a 6-32 fits well enough as well.

That should be pretty straightforward to slap together something simple.  
Anyone know the actual size of the threaded hole?

Nice.  That screw hole on the front of the rack ear is screaming for
someone to make a 3D printed label tag.

Our current QFX5100 label method:

We have a label on both the left and right side, sticking out as a tab on
left and folded over on right. in both cases the label was adhered prior to
putting the ears on.

Hi William

On some of our QFX5100 we have had to vertically label the rack mount ears
or the U marker of the rack itself which is not ideal. Another option is to
tie a tag through the ventilation holes with string.
