Brent,
    As you said, if it's not moving, why use flex line at all? 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.
