Hi, I have a similar issue, was planning to convert my bike from 10s to 11s, but am surprised to find the ultra bargain DT 240s wheels I picked up are 10s...
So in simple terms, what does the conversion kit do? Is the freehub part of it the same as a normal DT 11s freehub, and the difference only in the end cap?

practically it's a very simple job. With the 240s hubs the freehub just pulls off so you don't even need any tools, other than to remove the cassette.
basically the 11 speed freehub is slightly longer than the 10 speed, so in order to bodge convert it you'd have to mill off some metal from the inside collar of the freehub. like this
I'd just recommend the correct conversion kit...
