Wrapping the shoulder strap around the harness bar is a typical way of mounting them.
The seat, roll structure, harness mounts and harness must be designed as a complete system, so it isn't possible to make recommendations without knowing the details.
What kind of Takatas? Are they 4-point, 5-point, 6-point ...?
What kind of seat are you using? If OEM, it is not designed properly for use with aftermarket harnesses. It lacks routing holes in the seatback, and holes in the seat bottom for sub-straps.
What kind of roll bar is it, and does it have a horizontal harness bar at the correct height for shoulder strap mounting? In general, you want the shoulder straps to be angled slightly downward (10-15 degrees) as it comes off your shoulder.

Does the Spoon roll cage have a harness bar (horizontal tube at shoulder height running directly behind the seat)? If not you may be SOL. A harness bar is REQUIRED for a safe shoulder harness mount in an S2000. If the cage design does not have one, you may need to have a custom fabricator add one, assuming that the cage is of sufficient strength for such an addition.
Most people that have the need for a harness add either the Elda Bar (out of production for now) or a custom fabricated roll bar or cage.
The sheet metal located behind the plastic panels behind the seat is not of sufficient strength for a harness mount. If you must use that location, you must add reinforcement plates of sufficient size and strength to prevent pull-through.
