Usually you only need one or two copper contacts:

The plunger is usually good for a very long time:

And there are like 3-4 different shaped copper contacts and about half a dozen different sized plungers used in the various starters over they years. They all look similar outside, but the internals can vary quite a bit.

I've rebuilt my starter once (so far) using the contacts from 4crawler. It remedied the clicking/tapping-the-starter-to-start-the-truck problem perfectly. I recently ordered 2 more sets of contacts for when my starter goes out in the future (it's been about a year since I replaced them, and still going good.)
