I have a few of those filler strips ...
The dimension that Paul gives is correct.
If you look at the end of such a filler strip, it has the shape of a "+",
but one side is a bit longer (+--). They are black, either made of plastic
(the ones I have) or black painted metal (seen just once!).
I guess the difference between the front filler and rear filler strip
is the length a small part of one side of the "+" is cut out. The short end
is on the outside, the longer end "points" toward the middle of the rack.
Maybe I will use the filler strips in the future. The problem with racks
bolted together is that they become a PITA to roll if you need to be
at the rear side. My systems all stand against a wall. If I ever get a
lot of room (...) the systems can stand free in the open space. Then
it sure is nice to have those filler strips installed.
Installation is easy: just two bolts at each end (top & bottom) of the
filler strip.
Sorry, never took pictures of them.
Given the size (approx 1.9 m long) they are not easy to ship either.

Subject: Re: DEC H960 Rack Connecting Brackets
There are two bars (about 6 ft long) less than an inch
wide and 2 or 3
inches deep.
The front and rear are different. I think 4 or 8 set screws were used
to hold everything together. You can bolt them together without the
filler strips and it will still look pretty nice.
