I was thinking one of the VexPro VersaPulleys and something something the slice in the middle, but the keying makes that difficult. You could get a 2mm deep slot on either by taking off the teeth. On the 42 tooth, you can only get 3mm deep if you go down to the keying pins, it's up to 4.5mm deep on the 80 tooth.
