Title: Guide to cocktail shakers
Post by: onlytherich68 on October 29, 2008, 01:34:23 PM
I would sure love to see a report or visual guide to cocktail shakers or vibration dampeners for the convertible Camaros (and Firebirds to keep them all straight).
I have seen round ones and square ones and have heard about fronts with short legs and fronts with longer legs and that the 69 shakers are not compatible with 67 or 68 and that Firebird shakers are not compatible with Camaros.
What is the truth and when did the changes occur? Does anyone know beyond speculation? Anyone have photos? Did all 68s use the same type of shakers? ???
Thanks!

Thanks for the great information! It seems I bought a set of cocktail shakers on Ebay that were advertised for a 68 Camaro but I guess they are actually for a Firebird. I guess my search continues...

For those out there who do not know, my research has discovered the following concerning cocktail shakers for the first gen convertible camaro:
67 camaro shakers are interchangeable with firebirds front and rear and with 68 Camaros.
68 Firebird shakers are NOT interchangeable with Camaros of any year neither front nor rear.
69 Camaro shakers are not interchangeable with 67 nor 68 Camaros.
69 Camaro shakers may be interchangeable with Firebird, I don't know.

Add to your list that 69 camaro convertibles with A/C, have baffels with a curve built into them to go around those shakers.
Coupes in 69 with A/C have straight baffels.
Another little detail.
