This is what you have:

Starter Switch for Solenoid Housing
• Remote starter switches mount on the end of the solenoid• For starters or 1.2/1.4 kilowatt aftermarket starters (except Compu-FireŽ)
• The push-button switch allows the starter to engage and operate directly from the solenoid
• Installs in minutes by reusing your OEM screws

Well I finally got things worked out with this.......
I got a solenoid end plate for a 1.6 kw starter and that was much closer to being what I needed, but still not dead on. I used a grinder and we made the holes a bit larter than the norm and got things to work as they should. Made up my own gasket for it since you can't buy those seperate either, and away we went!
It would make sense that the previous owner put a heavier starter on it. The internal work he has done to the engine would make the stock one pretty strained I'd imagine.
