I am fine, thank you. Much better today. If Steve sells his GLS I hope it finds a really great home! Depending on my diagnosis, I might have to downsize a bit, too.

They are very old school, which in my mind for this sort of thing is exactly what you need. They've done a few jobs for me over the years and have always been really good, and always listen to the problem when it's a bit out of the norm. If you do talk to them, tell them that unlike a normal prop it rotates at engine speed and needs balancing as such.
Nice one. Its a hit! Their website shows a Siddeley straight six! I was driven around in a clapped-out 1935 Sapphire as a toddler in the 60's complete with preselector gears. Very good point about the engine speed. Why on earth didn't I think of that?? Cheers again for all that!!
