David - Keep your fingers crossed... If you already have a full Mills enclosure (top, side curtains, aft curtain and windshield, you may be lucky. If you don't have a full enclosure, oh well, my advice won't help.
When I got my Mills Bridge cover for my 1990 Revenge (Cetacea 44) a few years ago, all the snaps that were already in place for the full enclosure fit the bridge cover perfectly. Even though the cover came with snaps, I didn't have to use any Mills snaps or drill any holes. I did have to adjust a few of the sliding snaps on the windshield, but all the snaps that screwed into the fiberglass were already perfect.
Your cover may take a few months to "stretch" and reach all the snaps. Mine did. For the first season I couldn't get the final 1 or 2 snaps on one side or the other to snap. Keep working at it. When you get the final snap, its a victory! All my snaps have worked for the last few years, and the cover is tight.
