I have had pretty limited success with epoxy on plastic, even when the package says it’s for plastic. And if it’s being ridden, it’s undergoing all sorts of minor torsion pretty much constantly, so you would really need a good bond.
As for the foam, I have found it pretty hard to match the density and firmness of saddle foam, and certainly getting a seamless transition won’t be easy.
Again, not trying to talk you out of trying, just offering some observations that would lead me in a different route. YMMV.
i have an nos red one on order now. Once it arrives i may take this old one apart and see what i can do if anything. I dont have high hopes but its worth a try.
