Sometimes there are suspension bushings like from old shock absorbers or control arms that can be used....cut off the rubber bits and use the centers. Drill/ream out the elongated hole to fit the bushing which is then (chilled in dry ice for example) tapped into the hole. The hole can then be drilled/reamed to fit the bolt.
I've done this with the clutch pedal where the master cylinder pusher rod/yoke fit using a bit from old rear shocks. You'll need to find a larger bush for the alternator mount.
Perhaps a piece of iron pipe (threaded helps...if the ID is right all you have to do is get a pipe tap and thread in a short nipple) or some other bushing. There are also catalogs on line that could give you ID/OD of various bushings.
