i have tried using many 10mm nuts from several rx-7 related sources.
nothing seems to want to screw all the way down. there seems to be a smaller thread about halfway down the stud and then it gets larger. maybe i am just crazy, but i swear thats the way it looks and every nut i have tried only goes halfway down on it. (the original nut went on fine every time)

Stripped threads and or crossthreaded threads. Remove the stud and install a new one.
