Housing A Reversing Monitor In "secret Compartment"

Hi guys, I opened my secret compartment, and I think it would make an ideal house for a reversing camera monitor. However, I'd like to be able to slide it in and out with the door of the compartment. Does anyone know of anything on the market that I could use? I've got the monitor and everything, I just need to inspiration on making a sort of sliding mount for it.

    I was thinking of doing this, not for a reverse monitor, but for a monitor displaying sat nav and other media (music)

    I had a measure up and i was considering attaching rails to the sides, but the back of the compartment it a lot narrower than the front

    So in the end I decided on a runner mounted on the base of the compartment with a sprung loaded hinge to flip the screen up, and then a small knurled bolt to clamp the runners while the screen was out

    Decided it wasn't worth the effort in the end lol

    There is 1 clip in the centre of the top edge, wrap a cloth round a flat-head screwdriver and prise it open....

    If it's a newer model, it just has clips that hold it in place, it doesn't have the hinge.
