Also, on the front mounting bracket...there's a nub (to keep the block from spinning once it is bolted down) that interferes with the Z1 brass block when mounted at the stock angle. You can grind the nub off or just use a couple washers to clear it. I did the later. If you don't do one of these two things then the nub will put a point load near one of the fitting joints. I wasn't comfortable clamping against the nub and loading the fitting so I worked around it but other have just left it.
Not sure why Z1 hasn't fixed this minor interference since these lines got first released. It would be very easy for them to fix but I guess it doesn't really hurt the functionality of the lines in the long run. But if you didn't know better you might think you did something wrong. I know I sat there and scratched my head over it for a few minutes. This may have confused your mechanic also so perhaps he opted to leave it unmounted on the fronts but all the same I would get rid of the zips and mount it properly.
