Ebay have them, forklift seats. They are cheap and work pretty well. They are semi-suspension and should cost you under $100. Probably not as good as OEM, but if its for personal use, you can't go past it for the price. It includes new runners too.

Sorry, i don't have an item number. I actually get mine from a local company, but i see them on ebay pretty often.
I just did a quick search and the ones on the USA ebay are not the same as the ones on the Australian one. The ones i get are semi-suspension, the ones i see while looking are just standard non-suspension...
