Default Static vs Dynamic ignition timing

G'day Gurus....

Quick (I hope ) question re ignition timing. I've initially static timed (lining up the 'F') but when I put the timing light on her at idle (or very close to), the timing is roughly half way between the 'F' and the full advance(?) double lines '||'..... this is even with the contact base rotated as far as it will go in the retarding direction. At higher revs the timing moves beyond the '||', as you would expect, so I believe I'm getting full advance but at idle its too advanced.
New points (set to 0.35mm)
New advance mechanism
New condenser
the locating knob on the advance mechanism is located correctly

What am I missing?.....
.....or is this normal?

Thanks,
Kev.
