To be clear, the (good) starter from the 1987 DL is "fat"; the faulty starter came from the 1991 Torslanda.

I have now managed to remove the two long bolts (and a good quality 7mm socket was correct) and I am just going to consult YouTube to see how to withdraw the lever.
Depending which model you have, you may have to remove the through bolts so you can remove the D/E bracket and then the lever for the pinon is held in place in a block sandwiched between the D/E bracket and the main body or you may have a bolt of one of two possible types. Either a normal nut/bolt through the fulcrum point or one with an eccentric cam on it for adjusting the throw of the pinion - hopefully one of the other two options though.

If it looks like this then you have the rubber block between the D/E bracket and body :



That's a 1.4kW starter by the way. Also appears to be a reduction drive as well - higher torque for starting.

First link is to the starter, second is the BOM (Bill of Materials) which is basically a catalogue of the parts in it.
