Regular plumbers Teflon tape?
There's a Permatex version of 567 that you should be able to find a cross-reference table for in order to identify the exact number.Thanks, can it be purchased locally? Auto store? Hardware store?

... and tighten the heck out of it.
Not with 567! There is a torque spec for this (not handy at the moment) then turn until aligned. This is slippery stuff.
I'm running my brake lines - in particular the brass elbows that screw into the brake cylinders. Do these get any sort is sealant on the threads?
Thanks,

Thanks all... whoda-thunk it could get this complicated...
Seriously, I really appreciate everyone's suggestions.

One of the major reasons for not using Teflon tape is that it may brake off and clog a opening in an aircraft line. Similar to what might happen with Fuel Lube. But why wouldn't a gob of any thread paste pushed into the end of a fitting do the same thing? Can't see the difference in using Teflon tape or Teflon paste.
Any chance we could get a picture of you torqueing those master cyl fittings to "spec" on a completed aircraft
