Theres spec in the blue book for the minimum angle between harnesses shoulder straps and seat back, to accute an angle can result in spine crushing injury.

Erm....think about the belt when it is use, not when it is stowed.
Following belt route from reel to end anchor point.......
No matter where the end anchor point is, the distance from the reel to top mount stays the same, it is constant.
No matter where the end anchor point is, the distance from top mount to belt receiver/clip on seat also stays the same.
But the distance from receiver to end anchor point, there's the change, if it's anchored on the seat it is not as far as if it was fixed to the base of the pillar, near the reel. It gets even worse if you move the seats on the rails away from the anchor point if it is fixed to the van and not the seats.
Yes I will be moving it high up the seat base.
Stowage wont be quite as tidy.
Next question, do I get a planar heater now, I could integrate it into build, they are just over £100 for one with remote and timer

Do I actually need a heater though? Maybe not now, but would be nice to integrate it into the build.... but then, the reason for current rebuild is to scale down the sleeping in the van type usability because I never do it.
would be nice to be able to whack on a heater when I get out of the sea or off the moors....decisions, decisions,

What? make up a figure for the heat loss to go with the chinese made up figure for power output? Yeah.......should be fine.

calculated the outputs on both the 5KW and the 8KW units so ball park enough, plus the energy that could be recovered through the exhaust running it through an EGR cooler. He played with the units operational orientations too so if the exhaust ran out of the side or raised you could capture the wasted energy from the exhaust for a water heater or perhaps a radiator/towel rail for an awning?

last night I welded up the new belt mount and started boxing in the seats and looking at the wiring for the heated seats

New map? Nope - because MOT due, it's currently running fairly clean.
