Les, if I may throw in my first hand experience with my Late 81 (Nov -
06960) I have had a near-failure experience with my trailing arm 
bolts. I lost all the shims on my passenger side bolt, so that 
trailing arm kept getting tossed in and out from wheel torque. I 
never realized how severe my problem was untill my slave cylinder 
exploded and I was looking around under the car. If I havn't have 
seen the gap without shims, I would have very likely had a breakage 
in the near future. (Keep reading...)

I do have one of these Craigs with the built-in clock. The flex 
circuit still looks like it takes the unruley bend, but I've never 
seen an older craig up close to compare. Unfortunately, I damaged 
the tape mechanism, rendering the whole radio useless, the night 
before departing on my trip to Houston last August. Les, the only 
reason I think you've never seen a craig with the built in clock is 
that there were so few of them put in the cars. If somebody would 
like this unit, let me know.
