Here are just a few quick pics and info.

The handles will work well. They need to be moved forward about 1/2" to get them centered in the finger niche and also to get the rear nut on the stud. The next thing to deal with is they sit up hill just a bit and are not tight to the curve. So I am going to look into doing a slight notch in the lower section of the door for just the button part of the handle to sit in, about a 1/4" or so. The pic with the small notch was just to get it in place for testing. Also the inner latch will need a small mod but will be real easy from the looks of it. I will play with it on Tuesday and see what I come up with.
