You implied that you could not repair it at all. Which, in _your_ case
(not mine) was probably accurate. It would probably be even harder than
(gosh!) installing a seatpost. ;-)

Well, it needn't have even stitches, doesn't have to fit well (like a
dress or a sport coat), doesn't even need to be airtight along the
seam. A fairly coarse quick repair would seem very likely for the purpose.

The large plastic (probably polyethylene) dome-shaped lid for the system

it's worked for many years.

One can always tell that you never actually worked on bikes because seat posts come in about 7 or 8 sizes and measureing them may very well not reveal the real size because of deformation of the seat tubes during manufacture.

But now that we know that you're really a plant maintenance engineer, we can forgive your total lack of knowledge of bicycles.
Bicycle frame bores and seatposts are unrelated to fabric lawnmower bag damage and repair. Or were...maybe I missed something?
Maybe that seat posts can't be properly measured because of seat tube deformation? I know I missed that.....
