It would fit nicely in my WWII Ford Jeep. Tells you the angle at which you are leaning, left or right......OR NOT!!! Perhaps for Marmon-Harrington equipped vehicles too???

Were the MB and GPW models identical rockfla?
 
kind of knew it was for aircraft. served on and experimental device in the Navy and we had them on the bridge with a big red line we were told if it went past that line we could turn turtle---well let me tell you we went well beyond that line and the device shuddered and shook but never turned turtle
 
Your part may be a replacement part for a larger assembly since the mounting of the gauge is critical to it's function.
 
My old Piper J3 had one. used to help make coordinated level turns using stick,rudder and elevator to keep the ball centered.
 
Right after retirement I worked as a "Seasonal" with the state, mowing highway grass medians and buffer areas, some bridge and overpass approaches with rather steep incline. Most tractor/mower equipment had an inclinometer to warn the operator of possible "roll-over" situations. I suppose if you started to roll, you could get a glimpse of the angle you had reached,..!!
