Presuming that the wires aren't protruding from the hose end, in which case
they shouldn't be, here are two ideas.  First, run the line - brake line is
small enoudh for this to work well - inside a clear plastic tube.  Second,
surround the line with heat-shrink tubing before assembly, then shrink the
tubing around the line after the hose ends are put on.  This has the
advantage of hiding the stainless steel, if you don't like that look.
