Default O2 Bottle Space

One of our pilots with a LS4 used one of those round cardboard
shipping tubes. The clever thing was that he cut a slot, from about 10
o'clock to 2 o'clock and about 6 inches long at one end. Once loaded,
he turned the tube so that the side of the holder would cover the
slot. To access the contents, he just turned the tube again so the
slot was at the top.

I am curious how to best utilize my unused oxygen cylinder receptacle
space. Since I fly in an area where we rarely get above 5,000 feet, I
have available for use this long empty slot. It would be great to be
able to use it to store items that I might want to get to during
flight. The trick would be having some way to pull the items out to
access them in flight and then be able to put them back for access at
a later time.

I was thinking of a container with a rope attached at one end to pull
it most of the way out and then push it back when done. However, I
can't think of any durable, lightweight containers of the appropriate
dimensions.

Any ideas or suggestions for making use of this potential storage
space?

Thanks!
