A beavertail type safety is the best way to go but if you can completely disassemble the frame and remove the hammer, just cut or "bob" the hammer by an 8th of an inch or so and round the edges and either cold blue it for looks or use a blueing pen to darken it until you can afford to replace it.

P.S. I see you got the parts. Good choice. Just make sure you have them fitted by a good Smith. Dont be fooled by some of the "drop-in" claims. Its much more critical than that in a 1911.
 
If you want to go with actual RIA parts check advancedtactical.com. I do not see a stainless beavertail grip safety but they have them as well as the hammer and skeletonized trigger. Also from what I've heard of these guys on some of the 1911 forums they do great work at good prices.
