Don't apologize Lona.  As far as I can tell, no one was born with this 
knowledge, we all learned it at some point along the way- it's just your turn 
to learn about it.  Then you can share what you know with someone else.

I think trying to use your roller bolt traces on a singletree is inviting 
disaster, better to have the right equipment designed for the job than to 
patch it together.  In looking at the catalog picture, there isn't a lot of 
detail.  

If your roller bolt trace allows you to remove the monkey link and just leave 
you with a slot, you can probably use the traces.  If not, I'd order a set of 
slotted traces, and be safe all the way around.  If the brass hardware is 
stitched permanently into the leather leave it alone and get the proper 
traces for your equipment.

First Rule of Driving:  "If you can't afford to do it right- make sure you 
can afford to do it wrong."

Good luck-

Jon in Justin
