Apart from the obvious dating details, which I can't help with, I am sure, should I be building the Reliant, I would set the tappets very close to A7 specs.
I have a great young engine man here, young enough not to "know" it all, but still exicited by "odd" projects such as we come up with. he is the man I took the Reliant to, to get an opinion re the crank etc. The tappets are only a variation on anything of the era, the same as I found with the Milano body and the Big 7 engine. No actual experts, but you can blunder through.
The rest of the motor will be very obvious as you work through it, ring gaps,head bolt tensions,timing etc etc.
As far as a new sight, what about a A7 buy and sell sight instead? Hah Hah
