Default Seat belt "issue" with aftermarket seats..

I got tired of my stock drivers seat with worn out bottom padding (100K) and "invested" in a drivers side Sparco Chrono Road seat. I got the E36 base and sliders but overlooked the lower seat belt .... don't want to tear my lower belt/tensioner off my stock drivers seat.

Anyone else install a Sparco/Recaro/etc and replace the lower seat belt tensioner with a different type?? (or drive around with the airbag light always on ) I have the single 3 wire connector which should go to the seatbelt buckled/unbuckled switch. The 318 doesn't have a seat occupancy pad sensor so I ASSUME I can jumper the two wires and the car will think the seatbelt is buckled like the OEM belt receptacle. (?)

IF it all works out I'll be posting a write up in the Knowledge section. So much for impulse buys without the complete research.
