Make your own bridles, super easy.
Here's what I've done:

You don't need to do anything super fancy, just get some dyneema rope and make a couple of bowlines.
Just make sure they have the same size.
The original F-One pulleys are a crap. The edges are too sharp and they can rust with time if you don't look after them.
Now I'm using 20mm Orbit Ronstan Pulleys instead of the sheaveless blocks that I tried before.

The Ronstan Orbits are the same size and way better. They will last forever.
A good yacht shop can usually splice up bridle's. Or Google splicing and get a fid set..
Ditch the bridles altogether. Might save you getting dragged through the car park by a death looping bandit.

Thanks guys I'll have a crack at making my own, if that fails Adam. Pullleys on bandits are crap and chew the bridle, so ill give the ronstans a go as well. Been dragged by other kites as well so not too worried about the bandit. Only using in lighter winds sub 20knts.
cheers
If u go to french site and email them, they reply in couple of days (in english) You just need to ask the rite questions.
If you can find someone with a 12 that year the length of each line will still be readable on small tags saying each length also.
