one of my mates did it a while ago - he used a heavy duty adhesive to do it instead of jubilee clips

2 ways of doing it - both first require the top of the red bull can to be removed
- either "stick" it on using bathroom sealant inside the can and push it over the shock
- use a suitable sized jubilee clip around the top

Of the 2, my preference - if I wanted to do it - would be the first, however do allow at least 24 hours for the sealant to set (using masking tape to hold it in place whilst it sets)

Not in the UK. But the beer is about half the price so that's a bonus.
