A connection is provided between a holder and a plurality of anchor bolts
by means of a template. The holder is typically a form board for a
cementious member such as a foundation. The template is releasably
attached to the form board. The template is formed with a central
elongated support, and a plurality of pairs of primary and secondary
anchor bolt receiving platforms connected to the central elongated
support. The pairs of primary and second anchor bolt receiving platforms
are spaced along the central elongated support from each other. Each of
the primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms has an opening
therein for receiving one of the anchor bolts there through, the openings
in each pair of primary and secondary anchor bolt receiving platforms
being in alignment so as to receive the same one of the anchor bolts. A
plurality of fasteners are releasably connected to the plurality of
anchor bolts and are supported by the template to releasably attach the
anchor bolts to the template, suspending them in the form where wet
cement can surround and envelope the lower portions of the anchor bolts.
