I found it was easier and cheaper to remove the seat,  grind/roughen the back where the fiberglass is, and re-apply several thick layers of fiberglass creating a broad patch in the effected area.  Then to double re-inforce the area I put an array of rivits at the edges where the crackes are.  I had about 6 areas of long cracks that need repair.  Mine has held up fine.  Dont make fiberglass repairs on the top side as this is the plastic (ABS, I think) side.  The seat has been manufactured like a fiberglass tub.

  

 I tend to take a cheaper way out, and this method seems to work. Besides I bet the seat pan isn't cheap.
