Should I repair the existing 72 Pantera seat covers or replace them with reproductions?

I have a little issue with my seats.  A wire is pushing on the center of lumber area.  No hole but if I don't address it there will be. I suspect a connecting band broke. 

I took the seats to the apholsterer and he pointed out a small split with the side panel at the beginning of the stitching , connecting the holes.  (The rest of the seat is perfect. )  to repair the issues he said he would need to re-stitch the entire cover (50 and year old thread) and replace that panel. Since he can not be sure of a  material color/shine match. I think ( he agrees) all the side panels will need to be replaced to ensure a proper match and a nice fit. .

All of this for the same price as complete covers from SACC restorations.  I would still have him install them. So the batting and cushions can be tweeked. 

IF the seat covers from SACC are a VERY good fit and OE match that may be the way to go. 

Has anyone used them?  

Should I preserve the center material ? (Is it a unique pattern) 

PM works also 

Thanks Jerry Sr
