There's a shop here in Independence, MO, that will sell the solenoid
contacts. I've bought contacts for a few Chrysler minivan starters, and
they always tell me to bring the starter in to match the parts
visually. Most shops that are in the business of rebuilding things
don't like to sell parts, but these guys went ahead and sold me what I
needed for well under $5.
