The simplest solution may be to obtain a TR3 cover (used) from ebay or
elsewhere.  May have to have it rechromed to be presentable but they
are typically not expensive (you may even break even when you sell the
TR4 cover).

Or... I recall someone converting the sealed opening of a TR4 cover to
the type that takes a vented cap by using a short length of chrome
sink drain pipe from the plumbing section of Home Depot.  I think the
drain pipe had a flange on it that fit into the sealed cap opening.
Do not know how it was secured but given the really ghetto nature of
this mod I suspect JBWeld may have been involved.
