What happened to the original bridles on the kite? Could some of the original brildes be saved and reused? I doubt you can buy a set of bridles but
you may be able to get the bridle plan. If you can't find anything, a member on here may be able to give you the lengths or make you a new set.
Arcs - Charger I 8m, 10m, 12m, Venom I 13m - F-Arc 1200, 1600
Single Skin - Born-Kite LongStar2
Fixed Bridles - Pansh Legend 4.5m - Peter Lynn Voltage 3m

Maybe susan (kitemaker4) could make you some? She makes NPW's so she maybe could make bridles.

Owning five of Susan's kites I can attest to her ability to make bridles. She splices all of her junctions and the results are things of beauty.
If the OP can recover the remnants of the bridle from the tree then he or someone can attempt a recreation.
