Hi, 56K - I did a search for 1977 Bonnie and did a screen grab from YouTube. Is yours similar? It's a beautiful model -- let us know how your restoration is going!
So sorry to hear about your friends.

Looks the same except mine has aftermarket seat and no fairer guards
Keep us posted with how it's going!
Nice looking bike, i just finished restoring a 76 T-140 bonne a few years ago, there are plenty of parts around if you need any. Those are good bikes and catch alot of attention you will enjoy it.
Passage ways plugged, lines plugged?
Check around for somebody who offers the service of a sonic parts cleaner.
Our club bought one and it works wonders on carbs, parts, etc.

Just received enthusiasts Trimuph restoration. There book shows engine spacers are large right narrow left. Is that as a rider would view or from front? Had same problem with swing are manual calls for large spacer on right but its not possible with of arm only allows for thin spacer
Hard to know as I received bike with engine already out of frame
I think it's generally accepted that right and left are as viewed from the seat facing forward.
That's what I always went by, but stand to be corrected.
That said, I tore two British bikes completely apart and they went back together perfectly using that "rule."
Grandpaul can probably answer better.
