I misunderstood, I switched it and made the bottom taller

Personally I'd split the differnce. Keep the 30 degrees of the knurling but have both sections equally high ? i.e. .125 (knurling) .125 (straight) It definitely looks more 50/50 to me, imho.
its these parts from a: "Visible V8 Model Motor. Operating Engine Model NIB 1977 Revell" in the pictures abobe we see on the left: Distributor Retainer, right: Switch Plate, Battery Box. The far left: piston halvs(x2)
i have this kit from 1977 incoming to me, probably on my hands within 10 days.
Depends which blaster you are talking about. Luke's Bespin blaster, only a single retainer during filming (and quite possibly the second retainer and a motol coil were originally glued on but fell off).

Han's Hoth (stunt) blaster

As for Han's hero blaster, I've yet to see a photo of the left side but I would imagine it being the same as the other hero originally.
I am pretty sure I saw somewhere that on the Hoth Blaster, the two "retainer"-type greeblies are a motor/coil piece cut to sort of look like the retainer pieces.

All that info looks and sounds right to me.
I'm still seeing a bolt with a taller head securing the front of the scope to the bracket, though.
I see what you mean about the shoulder, and I'm trying to picture what you mean, but I'm saying the head (the actual hex portion) of that front bolt is taller.That scope was probably real which meant they may have used the real bolts.
The real bolts have a shoulder, it's possible that the shoulder of the front bolt is caught on the hole, not allowing the bolt head to seat fully.
This would make it look taller.
