Default Starter solenoid replacement ?

My Skytec starter used to spin real fast and smooth but as of recently it has been lurchy and rough sounding when it engages. I removed the solenoid and am going to replace it. it was from Vans and and instead of ordering from Oregon and waiting I would like to try to find one of comparable cost locally from a auto parts store. Has anyone found a suitable replacement?

I replaced mine recently. The auto parts store (NAPA) had a couple of versions but suggested the "Better, US made" version, which appeared to be an exact match for the one I got from Van's years ago. I have no idea what the part number is...
