Default Katech coil relocation brackets

Does anybody know if the Katech coil relocation brackets will work with any valve covers besides the Katech valve covers?? I like the relocation kit, but would prefer to use it with the GMPP covers...

Thanks

Not from a bolt-on standpoint. The coil relocation kit bolts to holes that are drilled in our cast aluminum valve covers. Those holes have bosses behind them that are cast into the cover so that they don't go all the way through. The carbon fiber valve covers have thread inserts install in them to do the same thing. Also, the coil brackets contour to the shape of the valve cover.

Adapting our coil brackets to GMPP (Chevrolet) covers has been done before by drilling and tapping holes, but it's not usually something the average do-it-yourselfer wants to do.
