Question yet another explorer bucket seat swap question

so I went to the junkyard and picked up two perfect power seats with lumbar and everything from a 98 expo sport with the console all for 103 dollars. I'm converting it from a manual 60/40 bench seat. when I took out my old passenger seat and compared them to the buckets I noticed that the explosive charged seat belts don't appear to be able to mount to the buckets. Is there any way that I can do that. I don't want to give up on these seats and I don't want to have my airbag light permanently on. sorry for no pictures on this post. my phone and my computer aren't getting along right now.

You can make it work, you just have to find a good spot to safely secure them. I have buckets from an 01 Explorer Sport in mine, and I love them.
