Sorry to hear that the inspector is giving you a hard time over a non-violation. But since you mention that the panel is almost 50 years old (and probably a split-bus type), I would personally replace everything in the first place, if I were doing the job (i.e. a complete new service). Service equipment doesn't last forever any more than HVAC equipment or water heaters do.
To try to repair or replace parts on an old service is just asking for more problems down the road when something else fails.
