Are those yellow hearts on the engine cover behind the seats? If so it isn't even close to strong enough to support mounting points for a harness. Even if you used a 6" diameter plate behind that thin engine cover it wouldn't be strong enough.

Best bet would be to weld another cross tube across the roll bar like the one with the holes in it. Or at least use the two holes you have and build a mounting system that ties vertically into the chassis at the lower edge of the engine access hole behind the seats.
