The coin style gapper's are okay for regular spark plugs, but on the more precious metals, like Iridium etc... A coin style gapper can snap the tip right off the cone.
hope this save a few headaches and bucks.

Yeah, you need to be very careful checking the gap not to put pressure on the iridium tip. To widen the gap you need to use a gapper that pulls the ground electrode rather than the wedge style.

I haven't made any. I drilled and filed one to make one of the slots, just to show it's possible to do. I never did the second. The second would be the tough one, because it would need to be in the right spot and match the angle of the first well if smooth operation is expected. I'd suggest buying an aftermarket TD unless you have the patience to DIY. Someone with better tools for machining may find the task much faster/easier than me with a drill and files and a dremel. You could try a local machinist and see if they think it would be a simple job and get a quote. I still think you'd be better off buying one though, unless you have a specific angle(s) that you need custom done.

You really shouldn't apply force to the center electrode on any style plug. this is the proper way to do it:  |
