   Pressure treated is corrosive, the new stuff even more so.  The panel enclosure is plain steel so will corrode quite readily against pressure treated.  You wouldn't be mounting a panel in a wet location indoors anyway.  Regular 3/4" plywood is what to use.

   just put some rubber bushing on the bolts and carry on.

   though about it and though about it, I just mount to plain plywood and say the hell with it. its up in the attic. That plywood be there a hundred years or more.

   Thanks, that's what I thought, still seems strange that Cauldwell recommended pressure-treated. Plywood it is.

   I would have to read the context. But I suspect that he is in an area where 95% of the pannels are in the basement.

   But even at that, with the new stuff I would not use it. Use felt behind it or use treated 1by or 2by's as furing strips and then use plain plywood.
