[doc] Seat belt - buckle direction

["John Chapelhow" <chapelhow@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All.

I would also be interested in anyones experience of changing seat belts 
in a DeLorean.

On my own car, the buckle for the drivers side is around the wrong 
way...

In order to sit correctly on the person wearing the belt; when 
unconnected, and flat against the wall of the car, the buckle should be 
on the inside. On mine it is on the outside. This means that the belt 
itself is twisted at the bottom when I wear it, preventing the load 
from being correctly passed to the anchor point.

This appears to be a feature of the early bodied cars, at the NEC this 
year, 1 car had the belts correct, 1 had both 'wrong', the other 2 both 
had one in each direction.....
