Twisting belt stalk

I've read it is okay to twist a belt stalk up to three full twists. I needed to do that when re-installing our Regent this weekend. But it was very difficult to accomplish three full twists due to the shortish length of the webbing. Is that okay? Can the twists be very tight without weakening the installation?

Thanks!

Twisting the buckle stalks is a "trick" for when the webbing is too long to otherwise achieve a secure fit -- merely 1 half twist may be enough or up to 3 full twists may be necessary (just never more than 3 full twists!) :)

Right. It seemed to take all three full twists. The buckle is still barely out of the belt path...
