The problem is also fat helmets. Helmets that meet newer standards are
often very large.

If this works, your harness is improperly installed. The belt which
restrains your body from going UP should be your lap belt. The shoulder
harness should keep you from going forward, and in concert with a decent
seat, keep your upper body from going sideways. Spinal compression in a
crash is no joke. Of course, crashes are much more likely on the street
than in an autocross.
Can you recline your seat more to gain headroom?
