Just pulled the contacts out and is clear why they wore out. One of them was not installed 'flat'. It was at an angle and had worn really badly. This is from the factory...the original install. It also wore the plunger ring contact down badly as well. So now it is back to the order desk to order the plunger.

Just FYI I am not happy with Toyota of Berkeley, in Berkeley CA. First they quoted me $306 for the starter and $225 for labor. When I took it in they said oh no, it will be at least $900 total. So I decided to do it myself.

When I ordered the contacts it took them two days to get them. When I picked them up they were the brushes not the contacts. So ordered again. Another two days. Now at least I have the right contacts!
