Series IV a seats

I'm not entirely clear on what differentiated a SIV from a SIVa.

I understand that the main thing is that there were drivetrain changes. ??

But what about the seats ??

Did SIVa seats match SIV seats or SV seats ??

I'm curious as I just put SV seats in my SIV.

They don't have the same piping and are entirely black.

Eventually I'll get the SIV seats redone and installed but, for now, the parts car SV seats work fine...

From the parts list it says the rubber diaphragm seats were introduced at B395000001 - the 1st Series V right?

Akkan,

Another difference on the IVa's later ones at least was the bonet and the doors went to square corners.
