Question maxi ball joint info

Hi everyone I saw a ball joint that has the same two holes for the bolts to tighten onto the wish bone but it also has another two on the side of it and I seen people use it on the locost I don't have a picture of it so that I can show you what I mean but does anyone know what ball joint that is and what sort of modification do you need to do to the wish bone to be able to use that ball joint or is it just a matter of drilling those extra holes ?

Dont know what the taper is off hand.Maybe worth comparing the drawings of the locost to the haynes for the wishbones.
I have the maxi ball joints at home and cortina uprights.Away at work til fri so cant measure anything.
