Fan ties from eBay only cheap. Work and look better than cable ties

no. you might need to open out the fins a bit but they should go straight through.
They sell fitting kits on ebay if you want to do it propperly, but they are just modified cable ties with some padding

I usually fill the bottle to the line with coolant and water, then leave the expansion cap off the bottle and run it up to temperature ( untill the fans come in ). then check the level again and top up with water
some systems have drain nipples on the coolant hoses or thermostat. in that case, fill to the top of the tank with coolant, open a bleed nipple on the return side of the system and let it drain out so the level in the bottle meets the line, then close it off
