I used industrial strength Velcro on the 360 to fasten the cushion to the pan. Worked great.
 
coming along as fast as time is allowing.

I use contact cement with my aluminum seat pan. It's a little tricky but you can re-position slightly by heating with a heat gun, it also helps flatten any puckers. Not sure it would work if there's quilting foam. I've seen pop rivets used on pans that won't take staples, that would tolerate foam and not be as tricky as contact cement.
 
If you try staples, you need a powerful staple gun. Probably pneumatic. I would glue and then staple. Glue will hold very securely if you get it positioned right.
