Hub/axle question

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert a Shimano RM66 hub from the usual QR setup, to 12x100 thru axle front and 15x100 thru axle rear? I've heard conversion kits are available for some hubs, but can find nothing here.

I don't know whether things have changed but it used to be that you couldn't alter Shimano hubs due to the cup / cone bearings.

If its cup and cone then no

I am not sure if any Shimano hubs convert, but I dont use them that much, so the newer ones might.
