The parts you need are here:

This is a link that Bill Putney posted previously and has excellent prices.
You will only need two of the contacts and the contact plunger, but this kit
with 4 contacts fits other Nippondenso starters used in other vehicles too.

You need to get under the vehicle to remove the starter.  This is about a
thirty minute job for
someone who knows what they are doing.  Once the starter is out, it is
fairly trivial to open the solenoid and replace these parts.  If you clean
everything up and reverse the procedure,you should get another 5-6
years/5-75K miles from the repaired starter.  The motors themselves are very
well made and generally do not fail very often.  The solenoid contacts, on
the other hand, get consumed a little bit by the large inrush current every
time you start the vehicle.

Good luck.

PS Here is another web site with good photos that show the damage to the
contacts over time and also offer just the contacts themselves and not the
plunger too:

Yes. See if you can find a way to just replace the contacts, instead
of the whole starter. An independent auto electric shop may be able to
do it. If you can remove the starter yourself, you can save on some
labor.

I am curious to know where you purchased the repair kit. Is it a pre-
package kit that can be purchased at auto part stores?

Thanks,
