Would be possible to use the existing wiring from the switch to the brake light, as this actually works - its the wiring from the fuse which is crap.
Am i right in thinking the route goes
12V - fuse - switch - brakelight - earth?
on the brake switch theres 2 wires in one connector?
Nope, theres 2 wires which have there own connection on the switch..
i would cut this connetor block of and crimp spade connectors on the one wire that runs to your rear brake lights.
then i would find a ignition live from your ignition switch solder a wire on to this add a inline fuse holder and then a short lengh of wire with a crimped on spade connector which then goes on to the other connector on the brake light switch.so now on the brake light switch you have the 12v ignition fed live and the wire that runs down the loom to the rear brake lights no earth as bulbs use the rear light cluster earths. remove the old brake light fuse from the exiting fuse box.
i would run the wire down the steering column area its a short run your route is right dont worry about the earth.
