Screw slots. I don't think a hinge would work because the speedometer cable doesn't want to bend that much. With all the gauges hooked up, the best you can do is pull it straight out a few inches, then if you need to, disconnect the speedometer cable and pull the panel out a few more inches. I'd stick with the stock 1/4 turn fasteners if you have them. I have used clip nuts and hex bolts, though, where the stock fasteners were missing and I didn't care what it looked like.
