George,
You might try Christian Ondrak, OK parts in Germany for the correct OEM cap. The pin valve is a stubby nail like thing that hangs through the hole. Any liquid sloshed up closes the valve so it can't escape through the vents around the rim. I tested it by blowing on it. It seals about 90%. The OEM caps were painted black. Probably the only way to modify yours would be to disassemble it. They look like the outside is pressed over the inner riveted assembly. I'm not sure how it would come apart without damage. Try Christian first for an original. If that fails I may be able to scrounge up a restorable one.
Let me know. Best, Gordon Raymond
