Automatic Parachutes & Retrofitting

Please see my other thread on "Automatic Parachutes" in which I argue
that an automatic (static line) parachute is a good thing (except
maybe in the Andes!).

So here I sit owning a non-automatic parachute (a Strong 305). Can it
be converted to an automatic parachute? Can I simply add a (7m)
landyard from the glider's static line attachment point to the D ring?

Any thoughts?

Thanks Again, John DeRosa
