I'm replacing foundation plates and rim joists on the house.

I take it from this that the floor system bears directly on the mud
sills, and that is why you have can not install retrofit bolts from
above? If so, then as another poster suggested, take a look at the
Simpson products on this page:

In particular, consider using the FAP product if the edge of the
mudsill lines up exactly with the end of the foundation, or the UFP
product if it does not. Note that typically these would be used on
the inside edge of the foundation, not the outside edge. Be sure to
use corrosion resistant fasteners and hardware (hdg or stainless) for
anything contacting treated wood or concrete.

Good luck,

Wayne, you describe the condition exactly. The FAP will work fine. Using
corrosion resistant hardware did not occur to me. Thanks for the tip.
