Top Plate / Pitching Plate Setup 

Use 10mm galvanised cuphead bolts (length = top plate thickness + 15mm + length down to below top bond beam steel) 

Insert it through an off cut of foam 45mm = Top plate thickness

This foam sits on top of the ZEGO wall and stops the bolt from sinking into the wet concrete and also keeps it centred and protects the thread

The next day, simply place the top plate over the bolts and hit with a hammer, then drill the timber where the marks are and bolt the top plate down. If you have levelled the concrete smoothly, tighten the bolts. If required, you can pack or shim the top plate level by using a string line
