Since these were not of "drop-in" style, you pretty much have to buy the entire fixture, or at least the gate assembly. (Unless you're replacing failed ones, which often happens as the 360Q is not the kindest fixture regarding gate temperature.) Again, a sheet of galvanized flashing, a pair of tin snips, and a bi-metal holesaw will get you quite far for little cost.
... I am also a big fan of the S4 10deg spotlight, so therefore and iris there is a must.
In the early 80s, my professor was buying 10 or so LekoLights and wanted to get the iris option. But it was around $40 per fixture and Strand Century had just released its PAR64 can, for $36 each! So he bought 12 ParCans instead. (Bad can by the way, but still.) We had a few old Lekos with irises (but no shutters!) and rarely used those. Today a drop-in iris is about the same price as an S4-Par. I'd rather have more fixtures....I would like to get a few, but we need to replace some of our old lekos first. ...

IF only one (or two!) of the color media manufacturers offered a DMX-controlled Iris, competition might drive prices down into the affordable range. IF only there were an industry trade show where such products could be introduced to the market.
