New lens caps?

Just purchased myself a barlow - Meade 4000 #140 and it came in a very large plastic container.
I want to cut out a hole in the foam in my case for it, but I think that would work better if I could replace the thick plastic tube for a couple of lens caps (like I have for my EP's).

1. Does this make sense to do this? (ie is the plastic case used for a reason - is it better than the use of lens caps).

2. Are lens caps readily available? They can't be found on websites from (say) bintel or Andrews - probably because they're such small items.
