I need to set the timing on my 2.8, and according to the manual, I need two camshaft locking pins, to get the right position, and lock them in place ...
Does anyone have an idea what else I can use for this? ... maybe something I can make myself? ..

Too bad your not closer. I would lend you mine. I could take measurements...

I have a lathe and made pins for other engines before, not hard to do.

If you are just changing the timing belt you could use a piece of chalk and mark the 2 camshaft gears so you place the new belt in the exact same position.

Anyway, that's what I did.
