Default Points cover: Shovelhead on Twin Cam

Question: I found a points cover for a Shovelhead that I want to use on my Twin Cam. Obviously the shovelhead point cover only has 2 holes, while the twin cam has 5. Is there a way to get the shovelhead point cover to fit on a twin cam? Or is it impossible?

Thanks.

Why not use small rivets, attach to it the current cover and then attach the current cover to the engine.
