Hi, on a Eurofighter a long while back I used a solid wire idea on the nose leg, the original link was a wire pull pull and the servo was located in the fuselage and no connected to the nose leg so you had to have long loose wire in the fuselage while retracted which could snag on deployment.

The idea was to use piano wire which did not bend but instead slid through two little wire clamps used in model kits fitted to the servo arm, when the gear was extended the wires slid through the clevis and a brass stop fitted to the end of the wires contacted the servo arm allowing the steering to be used in full, when retracted the wires simply laid flat between the nose leg and the servo.

Hope the pictures explain better..... it worked very well.
