Is there a decent technique to drill holes in metal at an angle?

My "new" car has more empty space in the engine compartment, but it

But I could get a drill bit in at maybe a 45 degrees angle.

I thought maybe I could put my finger on the bit and hold it in place
while I dirilled, but maybe there's a better way.

What you need is something I have had in my toolbox for years, a right
angle aircraft drill. Mine is a SnapOn, but there are any others, a
little pricey for one use, but far more compact than the Harbor
Freight adapter suggested above. Google it to see some examples.
