im getting my can shortened and have been quoted £55+vat is that a good price

Why don't you do it yourself? That way if you screw it up you can just pay th £55 to have it fixed, but if you get it right thats four tanks of fuel you haven't paid out.

Where did you get that quote from, didn't know there was a can cutting service about?

For £65inc, you could prolly get a stubby off ebay ... you can then either sell your existing can to re-coupe some money, or keep it for when you get arrested for the overly loud stubby!!

Do it yourself. Though youll need to find a rivit gun... I think.

Could buy a hacksaw, blades, rivet gun, rivets and a new strap for less than £55 so worth having a go as I said.

Aye... they're £55 + VAT for the six or so you'd need on a standard endcan.
