The Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount # 325-GH-12001 has a bolt pattern that is unique to the Glyder. There are currently no Pintle style attachments that share that bolt pattern.

I would recommend changing out your pintle trailer connection for a Pro Series Adjustable-Channel Coupler # PSA200S0303. This will bolt in place on a channel mount to give both trailers a 2" coupler. If you have a different connection on pintle trailer let me know and I will find you the correct adapter to turn it into a 2" ball connection.
