Anyone remember who made the oil coolers that caused the inflight fires on the 20b pusher?

I just looked through the old archives.  Chuck said he got the first one from Griffin, and the second one (yes two failed) was not identified.  Later, he specifically stated that he bought the cooler from Griffin, but they were only a reseller, and did NOT make the cooler.  I didn't see anything that actually identified the manufacturer.  
 
FWIW, there was a Setrab oil cooler than failed on a Lyc powered RV, but lots of RV folks are using them with no problems.
