Default Need aftermarket valve cover help. (sponsors)

I need a set of taller valve covers but I need the fill neck in the passenger side to be of the same specs as factory. I see alot of sponsors have their own fill caps. I have a GZ vacuum pump and the pressure valve screws into the factory cap location. Not the plastic part of the fill but the actual aluminum. So I need a v cover that will work with my setup.

Can the pressure valve be adapted to another type of fitting?

I'm not sure why they have that pressure valve there like that, I am looking at putting a moroso pump on and they don't have anything like that, they just have a -10an line that needs to be hooked to the valve covers, then another that runs to a puke/vent can.... not sure why.

The aerospace pump I was looking at was set up the same, and the other setups I have seen with a GZ pump didn't appear to have anything either.... not sure why the ls one does.

I know there are other ways of adapting it but I am looking to keep the simplicity of the current setup.

They can most likly make it as stated... I'd just look to see if maybe you could put the pressure relief valve on the driver's side, then have an -AN fitting on the passenger's side that can run right to the pump, and just have a regular fill cap.

That would be cleaner, and probably easier to deal with when changing oil and whatnot. All you would have to do is tell Nate where you want the bungs and what size/thread they need to be, when you're going with an aftermarket cover that's one of the nice parts, you're not limited/restricted to anything specific.
