At first , sorry my worse english writing skills , im from Finland .
Surely many of yours have done this but i did not find it so i did my own solution / sorry if i tell about same idea that someone has done much earlier .

You can modifly that plastic hose wich is used with plastic engine cam rocker covers and use it with alloy engine cam rocker covers.Just plastic welding is used , very simple .

Here it is ready to assemble .

And now if everything went well it should fit perfect and oil filling is easier.

Very nice, your English is great! But we (OOF) don't recommend alloy cam covers from Vectra. They should have correct plastic covers, with gaskets, because if breathers become blocked, it's better the cam cover blows, rather than crank seal

Ansver to first reply :
Ok same thing was on my mind / i even drilled small hole (8mm) to filling cap and added check valve and hose to it as security , hose leads to open air . That i did before i had alloy covers assembled .

For selling those  have not thinking that yet this first one was made today
It is quite easy to do you only need soldering iron and hacksaw .

Now it is assembled and fits perfectly , only thing it is little bit too close to body , so you should use
steeper angle when you modifly that oil fillinghose 
In my first message that photo of fillinghose that has been cut is not final , i did cut it more to to get
shape that i wanted / but it need to cut more to get fillinghose that dont be too close to body .
I hope these pictures help you to made nice combination to alloy cancovers and plastic fillinghose that use to be with plastic camcovers .
And if you are not sure of solution you can make filling cap that have hose to be sure that
if breathers become blocked there wont be a bad chain reaction

If you have a breather to open air, then it will act as an air leak and cause running issues. Best to just keep the breathers clean. You won't have an issue with the crankcase pressurising unless the breathers are blocked.

When i tryed that special cap i had ventil on it / it let air go out from engine and not let air go in to engine ( i dont know what is the name of this kind of ventil in english) and engine runs perfect 
Now i cleaned that breather box and i use that original filling cap .
By the way what is that rubber part inside breather box / usually it has become hard like glass and broken off .
Do they sell only this part as sparepart or only complet box / do anyone have done new one him self
, and what problems will come along driving without that rubber part ?
