I have a much smaller one than that, from when LED's first appeared. It plugs into a ciggy socket, with a long flex which winds up inside it when not in use. The rear has a hinged flap, with a magnet, so it can be stuck almost anywhere in the car and can show white or a red light.
The easy way to see what you are doing around the master cylinder, is to pull out the wide strip of trim, just below the steering wheel. That, plus the panel above your toes, makes access much easier - The first time I tackled it, I had no idea that trim could be removed so easily.
Would the plastic pipe perhaps soften in boiling water? You can get back to back pneumatic pipe joiners of around that size, to push inside the bore of the pipe.
Alternatively, would a section of metal brake pipe be a tight fit, just add superglue on the brake pipe to prevent leaks.
