>When installing new brake pipes to new wheel cylinders and other system
parts,
is there any sealant recommended for the threads, e.g. teflon tape?

Flare fittings do not seal at the threads.  They seal at the point where
the flared end of the tube contacts the bottom of the tapped hole in the
cylinder.  The only thing you might consider is a little antisieze on the
threads so that when you take it back apart 40 years from now it will be
easier.  Take car to not get any where it can mix with the brake fluid.
