As far as I know, the frames are different between the early strap type and
later diaphragm type. I may have mentioned it in my earlier email but I
bought the diaphragm kit thinking I had the later seats in my Mk1A. I soon
learned that my car was a crossover with the earlier seats. I determined
this after trying to get the diaphragm to stretch far enough to attach to
the frames. After realizing it wasn't going to work, I called Rick at
Sunbeam Specialties who confirmed that I had the earlier seats.
Hope this helps,

I believe the holes used for the straps are the same ones used for
the diaphragm but it has been a long time since I compared them. I tried
the diaphragm on one of my seats and I thought the diaphragm fell apart too
soon maybe the parts are better now or I just got it all wrong on that
attempt. I have gone to the strap system on the current seats I'm still
restoring.
