Assuming the Bendix is OK on the starters, are you missing teeth on 
the flywheel?  If the starter turns, it shouldn't be the solenoid...

Try putting the car in gear and pushing it so you find a new spot on 
the flywheel to engage.  Also, look through the hole when the starter 
is removed, and inspect the ring gear.
