Is there such as thing?? I thought racing harness started at 4 points
and usually were five point to keep you from submarining on front impact.

Somehow disc brakes seem to be a difficult and expensive conversion in

You may have a problems with this. You sit over the outside frame rail
so a roll cage that is around the side of the interior/exterior is well
outside the frame. And on left hand drive LRs there is just no space for
a front left interior cage leg. I think LR had a good idea by making the
cage external. The hard part is anchoring it.

The stock one is not all that bad if properly adjusted and in good nick.
Of course the tie rod ends need to be tight, the bushings in proper
adjustments and the wheels balanced.
If everything is withing proper spec the LR steering is not bad. But it
does get better with Scout II power steering.
