Smile Turbo/Alternator interference

Hello all. working on a 1996 Newell with the Detroit Series 60 engine. The problem is the back of the alternator hits on the 90 degree rubber hose coming off the intake to the turbo, (air filter to turbo). Over time it has rubbed a hole in the elbow causing the demise of the turbo with the unfiltered air that comes through this hole. There is not enough adjustment with the belt, ( det.dsl # 23520032)to avoid hitting the alternator. Looking at pictures of the newer model Newell's show that the chrome intake pipe has been rearranged from the earlier models. It looks as if the 90 degree elbow is turned straight up with a different chrome pipe used to avoid the alternator altogether. Also, some of the new pictures show a longer belt utilizing a belt tensioner. Does anyone know of a RETRO-FIT kit available to cure this problem or has anyone concocted their own solutions? Thanks in advance for any help!
