You didn't say what ratio you want....this may or may not help you.
If you add the mounting holes for a CIM around the 7/8" bearing hole that is used for the intermediate stage, that's a real easy way to do what squirrel is talking about.

Also, the final stage is currently 14:50 in a toughbox, AM sells several replacements for that stage, up to 24:40 I believe.
