Seat question.

What do you people do for rebuilding the seat? I'm on a fixed income and the seat has needed serious help for a few years.

Get a late 70's seat. Has 10x more padding and less springs to wear out. Best bang for buck.

Is it a direct replacement or what do I have to do to make it fit.
