'Stops', as in the pipe's length stops at the yellow arrow? Or plugged up?
If it just ends at the yellow arrow, can you replace it? If not, (or not wanting to replace original parts) can it be lengthened; such as welding/brazing another section of pipe to the end in the case.
If it's just plugged, can you just ream/drill it out with a long bit?
I tend to think your brass insert idea is the best though.
