the earliest ones did (IIRC), but I think the 83 had the gap

looking at the pics on the pc not the phone now though and the welds do look a bit dodgy

....well, any news now if it DOES have a brake mount or not, because if not i don't think it would be a General Hustler ....? ... could be wrong though
