RE: Factory pinstripes
Jeff, 
Pinstripes were never a factory option but many of the dealers had detailers 
who were responsible for, amongst other things, touching up the dings and 
scratches in new cars. These guys would on request of either the customer or 
the dealer apply a set of painted on pinstripes. My 1985 GTV-6, in fact, was 
one such car. To highlight the Luci del Bosco color (AR556, 
translation-lights of the forest, described variously as silver-green, mink 
brown, etc.) three pinstripes, gold, forest green and orange were painted 
down the waistline. They really set off the car! Sadly, after I had the car 
repainted I couldn't find anyone willing to redo the pinstripes over the new 
paint.

OK wheel guys...
Just FYI I went out and measured wheel studs so you guys can look at the 
empirical data. 
1969 1750 Spider Veloce, stock steel wheels, right-hand and left-hand 
threaded wheel studs protrude 27 mm from the hubs.
1987 Spider Veloce, stock "Daytona" style alloy wheels, wheel studs protrude 
35 mm from the hubs.
