On a mk1 the piano hinge is screwed into the body with self tappers, five a side. Gordon sells the correct type on the catmint site
The interior light is screwed into the centre of the front section of the headliner and there’s a specific section of reinforcement in the frame to accommodate. This is for mk1 and 2 cars. The mk3 had a specific pressing as part of the side cant rail to accommodate a clip in lamp assembly.
