Why do this? Just match the heights! If the top of the GMLTC module is
the same height as the PNLTC module you're all set.
However... hmm. there may still need to be a transition because PNLTC
modules have fixed height legs. So do GMLTC modules. (they sit on
carriers of a fixed height, anyway, because the carriers have folding
table legs under them) What IS the height of each? (Too lazy to look it
up, I'm on a rant here).
Whatever the difference was, that's the transition you'd need. Might be
up OR down, and it may be more OR less than the height of a GMLTC module
in bricks.
