Hopefully nobody minds be posting questions about ka/500 seats as i was unsure where to put this question as the car its going in is a panda 
So I posted previously about coupe seats and decided to get a KA interior. Im unsure if anyone has attempted this before, if they have i couldnt find pics.
I'll post pics later as to how far ive got.
So, Ive fitted the rear seats but the ka bench is different to the panda, the front fixings (where your legs go) are the same(ish). but the the panda bench bolts at the back too and the KA doesnt it just has some triangular loops which go under the top part of the seat.
*Does anyone know if this is the same as the 500 (cant find pics anywhere) and if i need to do anything with these, such as if they go in to a locking mechanism like the one for folding the seats forward. I cant see what secures the seat properly
*The KA rear seat is MUCH thinner at the back (seating part) leading to a nasty gap between the back portion and the seating bench, is the 500 built up in this area from the floor? I looked closely at the pics from the fiat forum member who fitted abrath rear in a panda seats and there was also a big gap in the finished product (which leads me to believe 500/ka are much the same) which im trying to eliminate. Ive done it so far with some MDF but i dont want to build a final version until i understand what the metal loops are for
Again, apologies in advance is this is off topic - if anyone else wants to use a ka interior ill be more than happy to help with what i have learnt already and hopefully itll help anyone in the future to get the rear seat to sit right.
Thanks
