so... just wondering... if a 356 flywheel is 8 dowel and same 109 teeth, and same 180mm clutch, and same 24mm clutch depth... could you not just use one of those?? A 356 flywheel I mean. Will that not just go straight in?

I have read that you need to use the 356 gland nut also.
AA makes a lightened 356 flywheel that is cut to accept a 200mm later disc and pressure plate, if managing the power is a concern.

shorter gland nut maybe? cant see any other reason
just interesting the the OP was going to copy the drilling of a 356 flywheel... why not just fit it?

Since posting this question, I have just used an 8 dowel flywheel from DPR to make a template, not too hard to do.
