The only real difference is the number of teeth on the ring gear to match up with the 6V or 12V starter. HERE is some info on flywheels and starters.

I would think it would be easier to use a 6 bolt flywheel which should be readily available rather than redrill your older 4 bolt flywheel.
In the link it says when measuring the flywheel teeth to measure 9 teeth i think it should be 10 teeth the picture also shows 10 teeth???
