Throttle body "boot" questions

In the process of my motor swap, i did an A/C and SMOG pump delete, and in order to keep the belt routing the same i put a ribbed pulley on the tensioner and routed it as shown. The problem is i now have a cleanarance problem with the throttle body rubber "boot." Does anyone know of a boot that has a 45 degree or 90 degree bend right after it attaches to the TB, or any EASY way to fabricate one? I'm really tired of making custom parts, hehe, so an aftermarket product would be real nice.

I made a steel bracket that sits between the belt and the intake boot, and keeps the boot off of the belt.

I hope that helps.

LT1s have a 90* bend after the TB... that might be what you're looking for...
