The finished job using the method described above. How are you going to mash 'em perfectly flat on the bottom side if you start with oval head rivits inserted from the top???!!!

I obviously can't crop these high res photos down right to get them under 100k. Help.....

I was referring to the Top of the actual Ball Joint.
They came in different varieties,Oval Flat & Round Bubble.
Here is a Round Bubble Top w/bolts in box.
