I personally wouldn't bother tapping the holes--Just follow the book and use self-tapping screws. That mud shield isn't by any means a critical part that requires extra attachment--It's just tagged onto the front of the timing cover. If it were me, I'd just seal up the hole with the broken tap, use self-tappers on the rest and extract the tap next time you're in there using a tap extractor ( http://www.use-enco.com/1/3/tap-extractors ).
There seems to be a myriad of different brake line configurations that changed over the years on series rovers. Check the first part of the SIII Workshop Manual for brake line compatibility info.
Finally, I wonder if your brake parts are original equipment from when your Rover rolled off the assembly line. There can't be too many left out there with natural rubber seals. I seriously doubt that any replacement seals have been made from natural rubber for some decades, though I can't say that there aren't some out there SOMEWHERE.
If you order brake fluid from RN nowadays, they just send you a bottle of DOT 4 fluid.
