REFLECTOR: A bit more on Seatbelt mounting

[Kufalk]

I hade the same twist problem in my seat belts.  I simply un-threaded the belt from the clip and un-twisted the it.  Granted is was not quick and easy but with a little patience I got them all fixed.

    I believe that I have the same type of seat belts in my Suburban (which I bought after market and we are putting the same ones in our Velocity right now) and they exhibit the same behavior.  I think that their manufactured this way so they can be install in several different orientations.  For example we are putting them on the firewall and they will come straight out.  I looked for different ones and can't find them.

   

    The only way we saw that you could eliminate the twist was if you used two hardpoints at the bottom.  One for the "end" of the seat belt and one for the inertia reel.  But then it required you to step around that as you enter the plane.  We didn't like that and so we are going with the single hardpoint for both ends.
