I've just had this problem on 2 hubs from different suppliers.
The thread should be 12 x 1.5mm and both mine were as were the nuts I had.
However, the threads on the spindle and the nuts were badly cut. I tried nuts from different suppliers and some were better than others. I found stainless were worst.
So I bought a die nut and tap. The die nut would not go down the spindle as it was so bad that my vice (not the best vice around) would not hold the spindle. But I improved the nuts with the tap enough that I could get them.onto the spindle. Still a little tight but ok.
Which hub have you got?
