This is probably more of an issue of production date vs. registration date.
From what I remember all TR4's produced in 64 should have the sqaure seats.
(these may be registered as 64's to 65's, perhaps even later). The changeover
may even be earlier. I don't have any references here.

Yes. I happen to have pairs of both seats in my garage at the moment (both in
original materials, and quite looking like it). The seat frames seem to be
nearly identical. The dimensions of these seats are practically identical. I
asked about this when I was trying to locate seat frames for my car. I believe
that the TRF stated that TR4 (sqaure) , TR4A used the same frame and only the
pad and upholstery changed. The back upholstery appears to be the same. I
have not stripped them down to bare frames yet, so I cannot verify absolutely.
That brings up another point I have 2 sets of frames and 1 car Anybody looking
for a set of TR4 (square) frames?

Tim you really don't want to keep driving that car with improper seats. :-)
You must take them out immediately and send them to me :-)
