Resurrecting an old thread to ask the same question about the timing of introduction of the strengthened Mark 1 Cooper S block which I don't think has ever been answered.

drmini in aust wrote:
There was a running change early on in the Mk1s to strengthen the centre main area, as it used to break out in competition. I don't think this was at the start of the thick flange, that was later. Sorry I'm going on memory here, no numbers... :lol:

GR wrote:
NO i'm not talking about the flange, i'm talking about the strength of the centre main. The later MK1 had no webbing around the centre main. It was solid because they had a problem pulling the centre main out at revs above 7400 rpm

First photo below shows the early block with ribs or bulges in certain areas above and beside the centre main. In the second photo of the later block this area is full of metal and flat.
