Drill Mounting Holes in Wall French Cleat Half.
I drilled holes along the board as I was mounting it to the board I put up on the wall, but if you are mounting to drywall you will need to line up your holes with the studs behind the drywall.

Attach french cleat to the wall using a level to assure the cleat is level.
If mounting to drywall assure holes line up with studs.

Using masking tape to mark out the holes drill holes into the french cleat for the tv again drilling a recess for the bolt head to be under the surface.
