Oddly enough it simple
The buckle itself has to be a single push button like we all use everday and it must have a DOT Certification. Which racing harnesses don't have.
According my insurance agent if I had a passenger in my car and he was wearing a non DOT approved belt i would be soley liable for all injuries and law suits. That is if he/she was wearing said non DOT approved belts. If they weren't wearing a belt then they would cover them. Talk about screwed up.
ps My agent is a very close friend so i value his opinion.
Also if your retrofitting belts into your car make sure you put the proper doughnut / re-enforcement plates at all mounting points.
I know juliano's make 3 point retrofit belts for muscle cars and they are also certified.
