We make our own custom end-caps (sometimes with a larger capacity that stock), rather than modifying the OEM steel cap, but that should work equally well.
I would personally use a bolt-on type valve over a threaded one, as there's not much metal to play with. I wouldn't weld one in either, as I would expect it would probably distort.
