Master cylinder and wheel cylinders. The rubber parts of the brake lines will need to be replaced. The steel lines need to be checked over carefully and flushed out at the least. It might be better to just run new lines.
The brakes in 41 were the Lockheed style, they will work ok, but not as well as Bendix brakes. If you are interested in keeping it all original then stick with the Lockheed brakes, if not, I would upgrade it to the later Bendix brakes while I was at it.
I would make a firm decision on the type of brakes you will be using before you start ordering parts.
