351-0003-rc
Lo and behold, Mouser says "Xicon's die for this part has broken and they have chosen not to replace it!"
So they recommend 351-0004-rc, which they say is "slightly different," but the mechanical drawing is the exact same. Hmmm...
This bezel also works for the smallish optic cells from Jameco in case anyone cared :)
 
It's probably the exact same as the 'Shack bezel.
 
Cheers,

6.3mm = 0.25 inches. I use this hole size for all 5mm LEDs. I mount
them with a plastic bezel that I get from Radioshack #276-079.

I like this idea, but the Radioshack part is crappy. Scott, what is the
Mouser part for the bezel you use?
