Routemaster Towbars

i'm currently in the process of ripping my Routemaster "a new one" at the rear for the purpose of better access and storing a spare tyre. This involves removing the old weak floor and fitting a stronger one.


While i was at it i thought about maybe re-adding a tow bar (removable) for future use, as mine had one back in the 80s.
Although I don't need it now, it makes sense to do it now as i'm rebuilding the rear.

I've previously seen how the BEAs towbars were fitted and have access too check again but i wondered how the few other Routemasters with ones have had their done with the Platform. Anyone able to share / take photos of the undersides?

My bus number (if any): RMF2771
