A gasket for sealing between a flange and a mating surface includes a metal layer having at least two integral tabs formed as a continuation of said metal layer. The flange includes at least two apertures that are correspondingly sized and positioned to receive the tabs. In a first embodiment, each tab is formed on the outer periphery of the metal layer and comprises two contoured, resilient legs separated to form a vertical slot between the legs, and a contoured tip located at a distal end of each tab leg. In a second embodiment, each tab includes a serrated resilient edge that promotes tab insertion, but digs into an inner periphery of the aperture upon attempted tab removal. In a third embodiment, each tab is formed on an inner periphery of two mounting apertures formed in the metal layer.
