Shorter alternator?

I've recently refurbished a 2003 Hoodie. I've got it driving well but my Bosch alternator probably from the Sierra donor is too close on no. 1 exhaust pipe.  It's a Burton BV head and a competition exhaust, but should I brake a fan belt I couldn't get a new on as the alternator is almost leaning on the pipe. I'd have to remove the unit to get the belt on. Anyone know of a shorter alternator, preferably with the same size pully and bolt fixing points. I know I'd have to make a spacer or new mounting for the back end.

I managed to move std alt down with some 6 or 8mm plate, i used the original bracket bolt holes to mount plate and drilled for standard alt bracket further down.  I also had to add a new adjuster fixing point off the plate. Alternater does get closer to steering rack but mine never touches it.

I use a small denso unit on mine they are pretty much one of the smallest you can get and very popular with Kitcars.
