That's my thoughts too.

This is just a suggestion, not a knock or anything against the poster. But a solution I think could work is to rotate the hook 90 degrees and have 2 of them, one at each end. Then it would remain flat and balanced no matter where the belts are on the rack.

Not a perfect solution, you wont see or have access to the belts at the back and the mount takes up more space on the rail. But at least you aren't playing a balancing game each time you take a belt.

I think I'd hang the hook off the end, so that the belts are stored in a vertical tree (slightly sloped, so that they don't fall over each other.) But that's an entirely new redesign for something that only really matters if you care about it.
