The MB Club of America has been producing a number of webinars on different cars and different systems. These are not specific to the 113 cars, but the system items are pretty good.
These are available on YouTube at:

A number of the MBCA clubs produce their own videos, but those are usually reserved for MBCA members.

They pretty much seem to all be by Pierre Hedary? Just a few short months ago, Pierre was on everyone's (BOD, National Business Office) "*&^% List" because on his own YouTube channel, he spent an inordinate amount of time lambasting the MBCA and pretty much everyone affiliated with it. Now he's miraculously in their good graces? Representing them?
I went to the YouTube channel, and yes, just about all the videos were by this person named Anne-Marie, and then the meat of the presentation by Hedary. Of particular note were two videos about preparing your car for Concours, but instead of Pierre, it was this Anne-Marie, and someone named Jeff Wong. Like it or not, the MBCA has a very clearly defined set of rules for judging for Concours, and Peter Lesler (one of the early members here) has been Concours Chairperson for many years. With the help of other people, those with long term restoration and authenticity experience, they've honed the judging sheet and the Concours schooling. All of a sudden, that vast body of the product and institutional knowledge is tossed aside for two nobodies? I have no doubt that Hedary can teach about braking systems. So can a lot of people.
Doesn't pass the sniff test I'm afraid.
