Missing Nut, anyone know the size?

Missing Nut, anyone know the size?
I had what felt like severely broken engine mounts, so I ordered a set of mounts from RX8 Performance and while replacing the old ones (one had indeed torn) I noticed the engine was not just lifting but tilting forward when I was taking weight off the mounts. Further investigating revealed that the lower pair of nuts that hold the transmission to the beam were not secured (and one was missing). I have removed the transmission before and I am fairly confident I followed torquing procedures for those nuts, but alas one is now missing (Either I missed torquing them or my wrench may need some severe calibration)
Anywho, I need a replacement nut that goes on the stud that connects the transmission to the beam. Part number 9yb04-A401. Looking around online the sucker is going to run $20 or more! Does anyone know what the thread is? (I do not have access to the car until the weekend, when I will want to install the nut) Also does anyone see any issue with just grabbing a high strength replacement from a local nut and bolt joint? Thoughts on low strength threadlocker on these puppies?
Thanks!

I found a local dealer that said it should only cost $10 and is ordering it for me out of texas. I am going to borrow a friend's fancy digital torque wrench this time, but I am still wondering if putting some blue loc-tite on the stud is a good idea or not?
