Yes, just some plain steel cut to 2m lengths by the blacksmith. I might give them a paint when I stop using them this time though!

And that is exactly where I got the lift from – they were very helpful. I went for the 2.5 ton model, which more than covers the S8 (though they did mention that they are rated conservatively).

The only lift (of this type) I found that fitted the S8 was the BL-6000XLT Quick Jack, but this was quite a bit more expensive, and would not have fitted between the 205’s wheels. It had a maximum lift spread of just over 1.9m, so just fits the S8 (which is just under 1.9m from outside edge-to-outside edge of the lifting points).
