A different trick I picked up here many years ago. Take two rear lens
caps, epoxy them together. Once the joint is dry, I put a strip of
electrical tape or book binding tape around the joint to stabilize it
against the torque from mounting/dismounting lenses. Have never had a
set come apart. The point of this is of course that you can put two
short lenses into the space for a longer lens without them banging
into one another.
much like these caps:

i have one; the rubber gasket makes them pretty secure, but i haven't in
practice found it especially useful, though i do often carry two
smallish primes
The best price for quality I've found was this on the fotodiox caps:

The fotodiox caps tend to hold on fairly tight. The ones that say
"pentax" are cheaper and OK, the ones that say PK, suck. I just
received an email back from Sara at fotodioxpro on quantity discounts,
and she's willing to go $2/cap.
I'll get enough to play with to make an insert for these:
