How can a F41 suspension on a 69 vette be identified?
Untill now I have only read that the F41 supension used a 7 leaf rear spring vrs. the usual 9 leaf rear spring. What else was included in this suspension package? thanks

The F41 option front sway bar is the same as a big block car, 15/16" dia.

For the 1969 model year, the following parts were included in the Corvette F-41 suspension:
15/16" front sway bar (standard bar was 7/8") - #3831972
9/16" rear sway bar (same as other 1969 big blocks) - #?
550 lb/in rate front coil springs - #3832518 (broadcast code "EA")
152 lb/in (per side) rear leaf spring (seven leaf) - #3828811 (broadcast code "EB")
Special shock mounts (provided clearance for larger diameter shock absorbers) - #3829265 (left) and #3829266 (right)
Special shock absorbers (physically, the fronts looked similar to standard equipment parts; rear shocks used a larger diameter shaft with a "coolie hat" instead of the standard equipment sleeve) - Afraid that I don't have the part numbers handy, but I can get them if you absolutely need them.
My understanding is that only L-71/L-89/L-88/ZL-1 cars could be equipped with F-41 in 1969... If someone has real documentation to the contrary, I'd really be curious to see it.
