It would seem that the easy answer is to use 1/4" aluminum line down the gear leg, since inside the leg there is no motion. All motion occurs around the trunnion at the top of the leg in an exposed area. Just bring the line up to a fixed point on the trunnion, and attach to flex line there. Fix the flex on the othe side of the trunnion, and the joint cannot move. If there is a concern about vibration damage to the aluminum line, then it would be possible to sheath it with tygon or similar, just as the nylaflow is now.
