Maybe it is just me... but some images of what you currently have would
be really helpful in coming up with some different ideas or inspiration
that you could ponder upon. I have some rough ideas of what your landing
gear looks like from past descriptions, but that could be all wrong

This is the "ugly" wheel installation, not even dressed up by using a
proper set screw (those particular collars are metric, and I have no
metric set screws). The only ones that are uglier use ugly wheels.
