I'm detailing main gear, and wonder if you guys might
be able to help.

On the front view...

Main Gear Legs are 5/8" thick aluminum plank sawed to shape.

They are not bent - and left and right legs are identical.

The leg is supposed to flex...

Any thoughts?

My Grumman TR2 had a flat fiberglas laminate plank bolted to a cast
aluminum fitting on the spar. It seemed to work pretty good. The nose
gear leg was bolted to a torsion bar which ran across the front,
inside the firewall, that also worked pretty good.
