My solution was to send the original disc out and have it re-lined. Since there are those on this forum that have used the 04-528, I have no other explanation. There must be different flywheels.

I must be as lost as you are on this.
I have had one of every year (1960-1968) and every one I have pulled apart had what looked to be the same flywheel assembly. A flat flywheel with a recess just deep enough for the bolts. Clutch discs were all flat on one side with the spring pack and nose on the other side.
This for 305s and 351s.
Looking at a picture of the Rhinopac 04-528

It looks to me like there could possibly be a nose piece on the reverse side of this disc, which means it won't fit (the reverse side should be the flywheel side). If the spring pack sticks out at all it should rub on the bolts.
I think someone else had the nose pressed out and then pressed back in on the other side to make their assembly work (I think I read that here).
I've smashed fingers and dropped parts on my toes enough to where I can't say I have ever seen a difference between flywheels.
