Usually not. I've found drilling bolts is no big deal, but finding 
another convenient place near the bolt to run the wire thru can be 
difficult. What I do is drill across one of the corners of the bolt,
which is tricky. Buy lots of 1/16" drill bits. ;=)

Some clubs will allow a paint stripe instead of wire, but wire's better.
