Central locking installation success. And questions. 200 1987

I have had this original, unused kit laying around for quite some time (pic1), and this Saturday I finally got around to installing it. Everything works fine.

Some notes/questions:
(1) My 1987 had the reinforced, box-type lock clip. I had to split the clip to install the plastic ring, and found it impossible to put it together again afterwards; the ring was too large (pic2). So now I'm left with only one half of the original clip. Is this correct?

(2) I noticed that the relays on this kit from 1993 were Hella, as opposed to the Lucas relays on a system I removed from a 1986 model 245 once. This is good, I suppose?

(3) On the driver's door, I routed a section of the harness between the door and the door cover. It seemed to be very easy to get it pinched by the power window mechanism if I didn't.

(4) My car has a remote controlled alarm system. I would like to put an actuator in the driver's door and splice the central locking together with the alarm for keyless entry. Comments/advice on this will be greatly appreciated.
