Default LPG conversion Nederland

Hi sorry maar ik sprekt/scrijf niet zo goed in nederlands so I have to post in english.. I hope this is ok.
I am interested in converting my 77 pano-bus to run on LPG but I have no idea how to get this done in holland. I have asked a few local garages who tell me it is not possible to do it on an aircooled engine but I know this is not true.... I have seen converted busses already. Does anyone on this forum have a converted bus and if so could they give me some information on how I could get it done?

thank you

ps please excuse my terrible dutch at the begining :$

It is possible to get LPG in your Air cooled car. The only issue with LPG is the damper. Watercooled cars use the water flow to prevent the daper from getting frosty.

In the old day's they used a special tube around the exhaust. This is not allowed any more so they switched to something that takes the heat from the oil.

'damper' should be read as pressure regulator.
