Abstract: The present invention utilizes a gasket that interlocks on a fastener thereby enabling the fastener, the gasket and a component to be connected together as an assembly. The fastener includes a torque-limiting feature thereby freeing the gasket from the necessity of including such a feature therein. The interlock between the gasket and the fastener is formed by tabs that fit within a shoulder of the gasket or by an interference fit between apertures in the gasket and the shoulder of the fasteners.
