You could try a local ulpolstery shop that does car interiors. They should be able to help you out .
Those old sleds basicly are simple to re-cover ( not like todays sleds with all the contors around the tank and such),just wrap the cover over the foam and staple to the wood bottom.
I've also seen kits in the aftermarket catalogs(dennis kirk) which might be cheaper than finding a factory seat. I would check out the local shop though first , just might get a little more bling(thicker foam, seat texture and shape) from them for the same price as the aftermarket kit .

When I refurbished my Elan, the plywood base had gotten soft @ the edges. The cover was intact, but shrunken slightly, the foam was OK. Using the old base as a template, I made a new base out of 1/2" plywood.

I had a auto trim business make a new cover & they stapled it to the plywood. It looks just like the original.
