This is exactly what my Teflon injector did.  I made a brass hole drill 
out of K&S tubing and chucked it in a Dremel tool.  It's very 
controllable, and easily drills a hole in the Nylaflow and even if you 
bump into the steel cable, the brass is too soft to damage it.  The 
method was to drill the holes in the tubing just behind the seat where 
they cross over (approximately the half-way point.)  Do not use a 
regular drill bit -- it cuts badly and can nick the cable.
Regards,
Charles Patton
