These are all good suggestions. If you try them all (I did) and you still have trouble, check the location of the solenoid on the starter. VW and Porsche starters are not the same. The solenoid is mounted higher on the VW starter. A VW starter will work in most 356s, but there isn't much clearance and these are handmade cars. I had a case where the solenoid on a VW starter hit the body (underside of the right rear jump seat), which pushed the starter down and caused the armature to bind. I had trouble for years until I discovered this. Try sliding a piece of paper between the solenoid and the body to see if there is clearance.
