W113 Pagoda - Tow Hitch

Hello Folks,
New to this forum today in search of some W113 Pagoda history...
I have finally aquired a correct Oris towbar for my beloved SL but have no references for fitting (I know that four small weld-on brackets were needed)

Does anybody have a scan of some instructions or installation drawings?
Does anybody know anything about the weld-on brackets? Drawings? Sizes? Fixings?

I'm pretty much flying blind here so any help at all is hugely appreciated...

With thanks in advance
Mike

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

Many thanks folks,
Sadly already familiar with those threads and pictures, and contacted Oris/Bosal a while ago - they didn't want to know...
I remember several years ago a Dutch guy posted up an account somewhere of his Pagoda restoration at home. A hugely competent job, even building his own body rotisserie! In it he detailed the fitting of his tow hitch, with details of fabricating the mounting brackets. That was before I found a tow hitch and I can't find his post again... :-(
I have subsequently trawled up fragments of the einbauanleitung for the Pagoda tow hitch where that exploded view seems to be from, but it doesn't have page 2 of 5 - I've attached it here in case it jogs anyone's memory, or even if they have a copy! ;-)
I can get the brackets fabricated, but it would be nice to have them just like the original, and it would sooo nice to have page 2 of that installation instruction...
With thanks and best wishes
Mike

I just found the pages for everything that isn't a pagoda.
Basically 31-2/1 to 31-2/7.
oh, and it's in German.

I'll shoot you a couple of scans later in the week.
