The seat stuffing in 1975 will have been horse hair or coir. Your upholsterer will be able to get it. My wife does some furniture re-upholstery, and when we lived in the UK JA Milton were great for good quality supplies and support. The seat grid looks the same as on later 240 series cars, and if yours is beyond repair you can still get replacements from Wagonmeister in the US. I rebuilt the front seats on my 1992 estate, and it was difficult to get the foam shaped right. I used an electric carving knife (for meat) to shape the new foam, and reused the foam that was still good but reinforced it by gluing cut up old jeans onto it. Wagonmeister also sells lower seat foam, but is wasn't in my budget! Your 240 is looking fantastic.
