Looks great. Something you will WANT to do.
Hiwin has friction fit caps that go into the counter bores for the cap screws on the linear rails.
It may or may not require some disassembly to put them in based on if you can move stuff far enough out of the way.
The caps allow the wipers on the bearing to clear off the rails.
Having the caps in place will keep chips n shat from falling into counter bores and getting into the linear bearings.
Also, not sure what bearing you have but you can also get extra wipers for the linear bearings so you can put 2 on each end of them.
That would require you to have access to bearing blocks to install. Just gives extra protection for the saw dust chips you will make with light cuts.
