FWIW, use a "dimpler" from HF (< $ 5) to create a starting point for your drill bit: it is spring-loaded, you put the point? where you want to start the bit, push and when it reaches the threshold it releases, leaving a dimple where the point was.

The hole is not centered exactly as it is a tight space and the drill bit wandered around quite a bit before I finally got a hole drilled. ?I tried to start with a smaller bit to drill a pilot hole but the bit was too short and would not reach the cross member. ?I believe that when I reconnect the hoses and get this rigged up it might just be a solution. ?I will likely use two stainless zip ties instead of one.
