I have a Porter Cable 4212 dovetail jig. Does anyone know where I can get plans to build a dust collection system for the jig?

I see Rockler has a dust collection attachment for their dovetail jig. I've looked at it and contemplated whether I could make it fit my jig or if I could build a similar one. The unique feature of this attachment is that it has a row of bristles that the router bit passes through. I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

I called Rockler and was told that their dust collector would not fit the Porter Cable dovetail jig. Leigh makes a dust collector for their jig. This months Shop Notes has a mount for a dovetail jig. This mount should provide ample support for a dust collector. Since I will build one I am looking at incorporating a support for the router base like the Akeda jig.
To fit the Porter Cable 4200 series dovetail jigs, Leigh Jig now makes the VRS1200 Vacuum Router Support jig. It fits your PC dovetail jig and lets you connect a shop vac so the dust can be collected as you cut your dovetails! Highland Woodworking has it:
