IIRC it came with a pulley bar. So those modern bars wont work.

When they changed to single line flagging there was some talk of it being backward compatible with IDS, but it was never clear.
Your kite pre-dates IDS
So you'll need to Test it!
Check 4 lines equal length at full power that it flies ok and test flag out in the shallows, maybe with someone around just in case
It may take some wind to see if it death spirals on flag out.

Not sure you will get the de-power range you need without the pulley bar.
Let us know how you get on if you manage to try it.

Good luck.

The 2008 Cabrinha Revolver I think had the option for going 1:1 or 2:1 (in pulley bar mode). My preference was the 1:1 bar setup. Saying that the Ozone bar/lines setup should work just fine. The pigtails will need to be reversed if using an Ozone line setup, which is simple to do. Replacing the pulleys on the old kite might be needed and checking over the bridle would be good as well. Test it out on a moderate wind strength day just to make sure all is fine. Have fun.
