Pip - Pendles sell these, for £5.95 each. I haven't tried them yet, but they do look perfect - the shaft is nice and long so will get the pinion to the crown on almost all the Scalextric FF cars. It will certainly need cutting to fit the saloons and probably most other cars. But you don't have to worry about it not being long enough.
These are the ones I got. They arrived quite quickly (2 weeks?) from Shenzhen back in January. I've bought a few motors from the vendor (hello_alian) and he lists them precisely and is very receptive to haggling for bulk buys - £1 each works for me. The shaft sticks out 9.4mm, which will need trimming down for most cars.
The best way to cut the shaft is to power up the motor and then cut using a dremel + cutting disk. Do it fast, wear eye protection and don't burn your fingers
