Vent tube issue

Hello all, I have a couple issues with my bike but I would like to tackle them one at a time. My first issue is my breather tube from the crank case. When I bought the motor it had been out of the bike for 30 years due to a wreck. The motor had a few broken mounts that were repaired but the vent tube was broke off from the crank case. I was going to drill and tap it very carefully for a new fitting but on my junk motor I found out if I did I will run the risk of dropping what's left of it inside the case. Heat won't work to remove it either due to seals and whatever glue was used to put it in.so my question is, has anyone had this issue and if so maybe a tip to remedy this. My only 2 options I can think of is jb weld a brass fitting to it, or tap a smaller fitting in which seems like it will reduce air flow. Thanks in advance for any help.
