You just need to copy the 1970s setup for all the belt mounting points and have those reinforced properly.

Helped a fellow with his 1967 beetle dune buggy with the upper reinforcement mounting point. Drilled hole in the roof arc, and four smaller holes around the belt bolt mount hole. Made the curved plate (about 4mm thick) with nut welded on the back of it. Pulled the nut/plate up to the hole, feeding the plate up thru the rear opening in the engine compartment. Welded the nut/plate to the body thru the outer four holes.
