I'm gonna try and get a day in tomorrow, I'll get a picture for ya. The bolts aren't fully recessed into the carrier, the heads are about halfway clear. You can't get a full wrap-around wiring job, but if you mark the heads for the right drill point, you can do a single hole and at least wire them so they've got opposing tension.

Also, torque the bolts in-situ, take off the wheel, do your wiring, then re-mount. It might be *possible* to wire it in-situ, but it's much easier with the caliper/carrier sitting in your lap for the relatively minor cost of adding the wheel removal/replacement procedure. Since the carrier slides, you can get the rear wheel on/off without having to unwire it. I'd have to double check, but I don't think you need to remove the carrier to do any service stuff on the caliper if you pull the wheel.
