ahh, that explains everything. there was a recall for the black/orange peugots in 88 due to a wiring fault in the skid switches causing them to spontaneously combust. they were all removed and the holes filled in.
you might be able to get a NOS skid switch kit intended for an earlier model but I can imagine there'd be a lot of work involved in getting it to play nicely with the 88 skid inducers. it'd definitely be a job for a qualified mechanic.
take it to your local halfords and see what they say...
