You may also find having it that low means the spring is hardly tensioned so it doesn't return the setup as strongly as it should.

I suspect it looks like that as the rod is not yet attached at the other end to the brake hub or the drum link/stop arm is not yet connected?
Oddjob:
It should look right without the rod being connected Ted. The adjusting bolt on the brake lever should stop it going to high.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I put the pedal on last.
