You will need all this stuff or variant there of depending on the size of the hole in you headstock.
Next: glue all this stuff together. (p.s. Have a plan in mind)
It's good to get a bearing that is sealed to keep the vacuum in the line.
Your connector should look like this:http://www3.telus.net/public/ident/bobs%20woodstuff/finishVacon.jpg
Next cut a little clamp out of whatever and attach it to your head stock cover to more or less push the connector you made above to the tail of the headstock.
Cheat with springs on the screws like me. <g>

You can probably find decent vacuums from used printing dealers.
The one I am using right now was off a vacuum table which is obsoleted with the newer technology of inkjet.
If anybody shows an interest, I could show you how to make vacuum faceplates on the cheap too.
the whole rig with the QD will cost about $20.00
