No, you will need to buy a solid axle and have it installed in your hub.

There was no need to make two threads on the same subject mate.

If you wanted to get a 20mm bolt through front hub you would have to buy a fork that is compatible with a 20mm axle(not the jr t you were looking at). You would also have to buy a new 20mm front hub and get it built onto your existing rim, buy a new complete 20mm front wheel or buy a new 20mm hub and have it built onto a new rim. A complete new wheel is usually the cheapest option there.

I don't think he wants a 20mm setup, he just wants to know if he can convert his QR axle to a bolt on axle. Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

If he does he will need to tell us what his hub is.
