Just wanted to check this would be ok for IVA as there is nowt in the manual about seat belt mounting width in relation to the seat, only
height.

I Think it will be ok
One thing i think you have to have a head rest for IVA know
That is my head rest. My head just doesnt touch it.

The headrest has to be in a certain location to pass IVA - best check up on that rule
Quote from IVA manual:
6. A system of head restraint must be fitted on every outboard front seat.
These are the seats i have. You've got me worried now Jacko!

the head rest has to be above the seat belts 
Crap, crap, crap!
Just looked in the IVA manual. Top of head rest must be 700mm above a 50mm block placed on seat, i only have 600 
Also read that 'The head restraint must be securely attached to the seat.' which it is not. Well thats £160 down the drain
Are you saying the belts hit the top of the seats / head rest and not your shoulders ?
i don't think the belts should do that
When i had my SVA the belts where not aloud to touch the seats
Sorry
Would it be ok to lift the headrest up to a suitable position so it meets the required dimensions and the seatbelt goes under the headrest and glue it (uber strong glue obviously) in place?
now i think you are getting there
lift the head rest belts under it
How are the h/rests fixed on ? will they pull up or down on slides?

How far in do they go ?
Can you pull them right out ?
Pull them right out and put a bolt through the headrest tube to ensure doesn't slide back down? It says in the advert they are adjustable, if you can heighten the headrest, but the belts between the headrest and the seat you will have no probs

So is it possible to pull them up 10cm (to meet the 700mm requirement) and PU them in place? would this bother you regards to looks?

"So is it possible to pull them up 10cm (to meet the 700mm requirement) and PU them in place?"
So if the above is possible and you can run the seat-belts under the headrests then this would be acceptable at IVA AFIK.

Don't the seat belts need to be bolted directly to the main chassis, eg not a bolt on roll bar?? I maybe wron but I think you can only bolt them to the roll bar if its welded on to the chassis

I don't know about IVA but for SVA the top mount for diagonal belts had to be offset a minimum distance from the centre of the seat.

again SVA vs IVA
I know for SVA it is no problem at all
