the only difference between Canadian market vanagons and US market vanagons
is the speedometer  says KPH instead of MPH, and the e-brake warning light to
the left of the cluster is not marked "brake".  oh..and the canadian spec
westys have the exterior elec outlet down low, instead of inline with the other 2
water inlet ports.

thats it.

other than what i just listed, Canadian and US model vanagons are the same.
the same windshields, seatbelts, emission equipment, lighting, gas tank and
filler neck, all the same.
no other differences.
a speedo cluster change is all that is needed to conform to US standards.
