I would shove a sponge up each end to stop it flogging around and tape the ends carefully.

By the way, in case auspost tubes are measured in zeptometers,
it is 360 000 000 000 000 000 000 zeptometers long, which is 4.724 moots in the old scale 8)

Not posting it - just putting in the box of bits to go to GR for the block bore and cam bearing replacement - just looking for a little protection
