My question is that of legality on the street given a DOT approval. You can't say "well, they are user installed so they will DQ" since Morris CC stuff is user installed non-factory as well. And how many guys are still running their 40+ year old belts?

I'm not.
I guess we'd have to find out if a dot certified harness is legal. Who can do that? And I'm still not sure I'd use one on the street.
Regarding the MCC type 3 points, they replace factory 3 points (albeit a different design) in factory mount locations, that could be a key differentiation from a harness. Not sure if that matters or not. But you'd never ever get a ticket for those belts. And his stuff is tested to surpass DOT requirements. But alas your point about non-stock could be legit.
So 2 discussions here: 1) legality and 2) safety.
