They get brittle over the years, and with enough vibration - snap!
Not too hard to fix though... lots of info around here and at Z Resto
Good luck.

Some years back, a little spider got inside my speedo and spun a web that grabbed the needle and held it at about 60 mph. It didn't move for MONTHS..... that stuff sure is tough.:laugh:
