Default Front brake line help

I am replacing my front brake line from Abs to the front calipers. I am having a hard time with the attachment below the tree. The oem line has a mounting point that is shaped like a pear with two holes, one for the screw and one for a mounting pin. The new lines from Harley have a round disk where the three lines come together. It also has the two holes. I can't get the new one to line up properly, when I take it back off and line it up with the oem, all of the lines and holes are the same. The new line is the white/chrome lines. Has anyone else had this issue ? I need help.

Default Pictures

So here are a couple of pictures. With the stock line, the pin under the tree sits in the crook of the connector. The new Harley brake line is a round disk that does not have the crook. What do I do about the pin ? Do I grind it off, do I drill a hole in the disk, or would I shim out the bolt to the height of the pin ?
Thanks for any help...Front brake line help-20140316_165337.jpgFront brake line help-20140316_165353.jpgFront brake line help-20140316_165701.jpg

Cut the pin off. I had to do the same thing.

The alignment pin is a roll pin, it didn't align with my new brake line puck either. Pull it out with vise grips.
