Default Riveting suspension Cups

I use countersunk alloy rivets, with the countersunk on the inside, bolt a suspension ball into the head of the recess and the rivet sticks up and make a ''snap'' to dome the little head over like a rivet top.
I think the aircraft industry uses this type of rivet, you can get them in various lengths and just trim to suit. The challenge is to find new cups.
