It's details like that lock misalignment that are so easy to overlook when you're doing a complete build of a car. Like you said before, you need to trial fit EVERYTHING. I know you already had them ceracoated but another way to skin the cat would have been to slice it down the middle vertically and weld it back together with a jog in it. I kinda figured you'd bend new parts using some thin stainless sheet.
My new Danchuk door handles had the screw holes drilled at an angle to the door skin so I rejected them. They said the had "no complaints" about them. I got another pair from Trim Parts and the screw holes were correct, but the pushrods were a little short. So I had to put a shim on the door latch to make them work right. It's always something.
Bummer on that magnetic brake coil.I like your idea of the grommet on the lock rod so I'll probably steal it.
The car is looking awesome.
