Alright, I cleaned up the oil warmer and the bolt from the VW. Here are some pictures.

And, with some brake cleaner, they got a bit cleaner.

The oil warmer measures a couple inches thick. I took a look at the oil filter placement, and there is room in front of it chassis wise. But, the lower radiator hose is going to be right in the way. Its definitely going to hit. I think it may fit by pushing the hose out of the way, but I think it'll be tight. Perhaps I can make a bracket to pull the radiator hose out of the way? We'll see. This is the next thing to look into.
