It's your choice, but I would just pack it with stiff foam from the hardware store and wrap it in seat vinyl. Glue the foam layers together with heavy duty spray adhesive and use *the stiffest* foam you can get. Fold it up like a christmas present and staple it down just like the stock seat cover. You can make the seat as high as you want this way, you're not stuck with the low back-breaking seat of these old designs. I've done it on 4 of my sleds (3 that I currently own) and I think it's the only way to go. Much cheaper than trying to make it like stock. I get the seat vinyl from psep.biz - good luck. It may not look as good as stock, but it's more comfortable (more padding is like adding suspension travel for your back), puts you in a better riding position, and lasts longer because there are no seams.

Here's a few examples:
