145 tank is behind the rear axel whereas 245 tank is in-front so doubt it fits.

I fitted 245 rear calipers to my 145. Approximately, imperial to metric conversion. 10mm bolts not 3/8". Metric brake unions not imperial so have to make pipes with one each end. 245 calipers have rust prevention concertinas. IIRC it looked like 245 vented disks and calipers would also fit.
