What surprised me was the huge dowel pins on the main caps.  Seemed a bit overkill and possibly leading to cracks in the main webbing.  I think #1 is only like 1/4", but the others are like 3/8"?  Seems 1/4" pin would have been more then sufficient for all, as tight as everything fits.

Yes, the caps are interference fit for sure!!  I had to use a block spreader to get mine in/out.  A real PITA actually, especially when mocking things up.  Lots of extra time is spent.
