Part number sec440

[Peter0003]

Hi All, This part number belongs to the brake dust covers (which are fitted to strut that holds the wheel in place just behind the disc ) & I cannot find them on ebay. My own which were on the car car until I had my brakes discs & pads replaced at the MOT station. Does anyone know where I can get a pair ? I have contacted the garage but they have thrown them away. Would I need them to past the next MOT & without them what would happen when I drive on to a muddy field which I'm likely to do sometime this year, work related.

SEC440 isnt a partnumber. It means section 440 of the parts catalog. 440 is the front brake part. See https://nissan-europe.epc-data.com/micra/k11e/1812-cg10de/brake/440/

Mine doesn't have the shields, I had assumed that they all came without them.

The part itself is discontinued so id say scrapyard/ebay and get a used set.

No need for them, it won’t be a MOT fail either. It reduces chances of brake fade as the brakes will cool better.

Referring to your muddy field part, I removed them on our rally car and this spends half its life in muddy conditions so it won’t be an issue.

Hi SuperUno, The only question I have for you without the dust sheilds how long will the cv joint rubber boots last without any extra protection ?

Never caused an issue, even with the heat from our brakes which will often make the discs glow red hot.
