Thanks for the contributions. I'm happy using slotted cheesehead screws for the instrument panel, but not sure about how the dashpanel was held into the car.
Mine is an early mk 1, has a separate dash panel, and has the rather ugly screws as on page 60 of the Rinsey Mills book. i think I will fasten it back with screws in that position again. There seem to be some cars without screws here, as in Peter Naulls photo above.
Mine does not clip over the body moulding at the top, so it does need some screws.
Also it appears to have been a plain darkish brown, with no sign of woodgrain at all. In the sixties the dash was painted white, then an off-white, with household paint and a rough brush!
Photo is page 60 of the book, it has screws like mine, but I can see other differences!
