Hiya Pedro,'s been a while.
I found these guys, but seems they don't do 4" scissors. Good thing is that springs are wound left and right.(Coil and scissor),they're the only place I can find who does this.

Was certain they had real nice stainless ones last year, but now can't find. Would've got some but the shipping was about $45?
Good you got a seat, cheers for now duTch
