All I used was the original type hinges. All they are is a 1/4" bolt bent with a shepards hook on the end. Dan Shaver has all three sizes (door, cargo door and rad door) and also the washer type friction spacer. The door handle I also bought from Dan. The ones he has now has have the threaded hole on the closer that fits a 1/4" bolt. This makes it easy to attach a cord for the inside latch opener.
If you look close at the door picture above, you can see the bolt on the inside of the latch sticking up that I am talking about. Not all handles have this feature, so it is very handy feature to have. You could attach a ridgid handle or the original type with a cable attachment or whatever you come up with.
I know the hinges look pretty flimsy, but they do the trick. I'll send you a set for your stocking next fall (I'd say Christmas, but at the rate your going you will be driving around by then).
And that Mr. OT is all that I know.
