The UAZ brake drums differ in internal diameters on the same axle. 4 drums - 4 different diameters. QC was not a Soviet strong point!!

Only the Ruskies could think that one up, or British Leyland.The UAZ brake drums differ in internal diameters on the same axle. 4 drums - 4 different diameters. QC was not a Soviet strong point!!
Remember one car came off the production line with disc brake on one side and drum the other.

Not as bad as Ford - when I was an apprentice they put a 3 door Mk 3 Cortina through the assembly lines for a laugh. Got all the way to the final QC lines before anyone in authority noticed. Theoretically impossible - but the framing buck were manual back then, not automated so they ran the body through the two door set then pulled it and ran it through the 4 door set. End result was a bright yellow GT with 1 door on the drivers side and two on the the passengers.

Sadly management disagreed - it was stripped immediately and the parts recycled back into the production sequence then the shell went straight to the crusher.
A shame - but the entire plant was laughing over it Apparently the final inspectors face was a picture as he went to sign off. For starters there was no build number on the report sheet
