You can certainly “upsize” the wiring with no problem . . . in fact, this would probably make the brakes work better. I think you are one size low (numerically) on the OE wire sizing estimate. The blue wire is likely 14 ga (not 12) and the brake wiring might be 18 ga. Running 14 ga throughout would be good, 12 ga would be better. I like Neil’s idea of using stranded wire designed for burying (typical for outdoor low voltage lighting or irrigation systems). This will get you much thicker insulation.
