If the back of the panel is not exposed metal then you should scrape at
the back of the panel around the point where the pot body touches the
metalwork to ensure a good electrical connection. Normal pot bodies are
not connected to any of the pins so you may well find that there is no
ground connection there anyway.
If you have multimeter then measure the resistance between the front
panel and 0V in your systems power supply.
I always supply an earth tag with my Panther kits which is used to
provide a separate (i.e. not relying on any component bodies to do the
job) grounding point and am not aware of anyone having hum issues
through touching a panel component.
