Seat belt pre-tensioner on powered seats? 700 1990

My '90 740 has seat belt pre-tensioner for the front seats, I believe these only became standard on 700 series in 1990.

I recently pulled a 2nd hand powered driver's seat from a wrecked '88 760, which doesn't have pre-tensioner, and I had problem fitting the seat belt pre-tensioner from my '90 seat onto the '88 seat... seems like the gear mechanism for the seat back tilt will get in the way.

So my question is - were seat belt pre-tensioners fitted on '90 models with powered seats? If so, how were they fitted? I know on later models (960's?) they moved the pre-tensioner mechanisms into the B pillar, but on my '90 model it's bolted to the seat. I wouldn't mind the luxury of powered driver seat but I don't want to compromise a safety feature for it.
