Looks like the flackmaster is right on, I checked the handles front and back and the shorter ones clear the front seat back much better. They are about 3/4" to 1" different.

I have one handle that has a big chrome knob on it instead of the black plastic like the rest, this is one of the nice condition chrome ones I got from one of Scott's cars because my originals are all pretty badly pitted. I didn't notice the different knob when I was pulling parts, I was just looking at the condition of the handles. So I drilled the end off the rivet on one of my old handles, the shaft is pretty hard steel. Tried drilling and tapping for a 4-40 screw but broke my tap. So on to plan B, the shaft is molded into the plastic knob and if I heat the shaft it should melt out, then I can glue a nut in there and use a screw to attach the knob to the handle. We'll see how that works.
