[Closed] DT 240 end caps on road wheels

I've obtained some DT wheels built on 240 hubs for my road bike (rim brakes).
Before I fit them I'm thinking of converting to 9mm/10mm RWS by changing the end caps.
Is this possible?
I've been looking for solutions but all the end cap kits seem to be for disc hubs, so is it possible for 240 road hubs non-disc?

Have a look at page 66 of this document.

Thanks Mister P.
I've already seen that but it seems to reference disc only hubs, certainly for the front so just wondering if non disc is also compatible?

Page 11 of this one suggests not.

Yep, it does - cheers - will just probably go with QR RWS instead then

UPDATE:
I have been unable to find any end caps top suit so it seems the DT documents are correct.
However, I have bit the bullet and drilled out my end caps to take the 9/10mm RWS skewers. The axles are wide enough to take the bigger skewers and all is good.
I managed to pick up front and back RWS from Rose for a bargainous ~£7.50 each and including postage came to £24, so less than getting just one from a UK source.
