convert a XT M778 15mm bolt through hub to QR

Will a 15mm bolt through hub fit on a normal dropout fork? Or can the hubs be converted to QR?
(Shimano M778 front wheel)

No kit available to do so. Options are getting an engineer to make some adaptors for you could be pricey or rebuild with new hub.
Rebuild with a new could be nearly as expensive as a new wheel build if the spokes can't be re-used or the rim needs replacing.

if you go down the rebuild thread and the new hub has the same dimensions as the old one you can use the old spokes.
