Yes, many of my freqently used headlight bricks are cracked...  :-(

I think that these have become of better quality, though.  In my
childhood, probably every second wheel centre I had was cracked.  I used
to glue them when sitting in the centre of a tyre.  That way, they would
usually last as long as I did not try to remove the tyre.


But my newer wheel centres don't crack.  Perhaps I don't use them that
much.



I've also had many cracks in the 6536 cross block connector.  It's the
cross axle hole which cracks after much use.
