I don't remember how much they ran, I had an XFactor for about 3 years,
I think "Thresher Tank" makes one that fits, but I'm not sure, all I know is that you will spend more time and $ than it's worth

2 ft of 3 or 4 inch black PVC pipe. One end cap. One twist of cap and some motivational 550 cord. Glue caps on. Drill holes all around it and tie 550 cord to it as a leash.
