Dear Suzy,

          Your ideas are very ingenious but violate the basic Ston Rygar
rule: "twist it 'til it hurts."  You don't need extra anchors or
parachutes, you just have to modify parts you have.  

          With that in mind, I offer the Clutch Operated Pedal
Attenuating Fast-Effect Electronic Leverage device.

          I removed my clutch and machined a replacement from stainless
aluminim/chromium alloy.  It is twice the diameter of the original
clutch.  At a small expense, I purchased six "big brake" kits through my
overseas (Australian) supplier, Steve G'Daytomorrowyuh.  All six calipers
are mounted around the edge of the Clutch Operated Pedal Attenuating
Fast-Effect Electronic Leverage device and are actuated by the regular
brake pedal.  Using twelve brake-line splitters and two ABS units, I got
all six calipers to clamp simultaneously and resist lock up.  This is
important because I get fairly nervous on dates where I have to slow
down.  I have found that the clutch is the most imporant part to the
C.O.P.A.F.E.E.L. procedure, and I am very concerned about the size of
mine.

          This modification will be available as a kit soon, only $6900
(10% discount to SRFC members).
