    This sounds retentive I know but if you were looking to install new ball joints and are chasing that concors attention to detail I have previously sourced the right sized and shaped rivets from Caterpillar for someone who wanted that look on their Holden.

    There is a couple of ways to fit them.... Either an air hammer/chisel with the right domed bit and dolly to install them (they can be done without but much easier with one). Or you can sweet talk an aircraft mechanic as they use that type of dome rivet in day to day work. I remember someone mentioning it is possible to set them up in a press also.
