Sorry but the inlet adapter cone is made from aluminum, just like the rest of the "S-Duct".
Nevertheless, it is required to be modified/changed for the fitment of -524B402 engines on those aircraft not so equipped from the factory.
Many man-hours required, at considerable cost.
IE: not viable...except for certain operators (Orbital Science, for example).
