Hi crispy
From what I hear, the MK2 Escort brakes will go on the MK2 Tina struts as this is what I am doing on my Anglia. The standard Girling M16 calipers with discs and pads apparently do an excellent job. This is the set up on my RS (vented discs) and they are great. Be careful on which Willwood calipers you go for as some are rated to 600 or so kg. Additionally, I have read that the Willwood contact surface isn't always as high as the M16s. Have a look at this thread for lots of info to confuse you even more. I am a bit lost with it all myself.

Whilst it is an Anglia forum, they are talking about MK2 Tina struts (mostly).
Let us know how you get on.
